lyrics

It's been a beautiful day, and the light is fading fast
just for tonight girl, would you stay, it's all I ask
we could wake up in the morning, as the dawn breaks
I couldn't think of a better way, to start the day
you in my arms, what d'ya say

CHORUS
If I hold you, would you, hold me too
If you could, I would, I would take care of you
We could leave all our troubles, far behind
figure it all out, If I hold you and you hold me too

sometimes it's hard to keep all the pieces together
sometimes they can break in two
if you find yourself thinking that you don't know what to do
when the light is fading into blue
just call on me baby I'll be there for you

CHORUS

would you stay with me tonight until the dawn breaks
forget about all our troubles and all of our mistakes
together we can start a brand new day
I'll hold you, and you could hold me too

If I hold you would you hold me too
If I need you would you need me too
If I love ya!, If I love ya! would you love me too
If I hold you, would you hold, me, too
