Lyrics

LET ME HOLD YOU
Let me hold you, before you go to sleep
I know time is running out, it's near...

Let me hold you, so I can explain,
How you've changed my life in every way.

Sun is shining bright,
But brings no light.
Fading shadows tell
Of this losing fight.

Can I hold you one more time I ask.
When you're in my arms, the pain will pass.

When I hear your heartbeat next to mine,
Every cherished moment, frozen in time.

Sun is shining bright,
But brings no light.
Fading shadows tell
Of this losing fight.

Let me hold you, as you slip away,
Darkness now descends upon this place.

Let me hold your hand so very tight.
Silence all around...
Good Night

The lovely melancholy and memorable melody immediately hooks you in and sets the mood for the lyrical story of surrender and of being comforted. Vocals are emotional and airy and compliments the song, which is orchestrated gently with piano and violin. What really gets the song across is the melody. The songwriter has a great gift of crafting unique catchy tunes with just the right emotion. The lyrics easily fit into the feeling of the tune and tells the story beautifully.
