Let Me Hold You

On a cold and stormy night

when a boy and I have a fight

I just need a hand to touch

one that loves me very much

That's when I run to your side

all my secrets, I confide

then you turn to me with a smile

and say stay with me for awhile

And let me hold you

Let me keep you

Let me bring you in from the rain

Let me shelter you from the pain

Let me squeeze you

Let me tease you

When the world has turned me around

with you I'll always be found

'cause you let me hold you

When your dreams get burned at the stake

by some man who wasn't your fate

and you feel so very alone

then you call me up on the phone

That's when I run to your door

find you crying there on the floor

so I lie right down by your side

and say darling, just for tonight

Let me hold you

Let me keep you

Let me wash him out of your hair

while you weep him out of your stare

Let me soothe you

Let me heal you

When your heart is dead on the ground

look up, and there I'll be found

saying let me -

Let me tell you something I've learned

a true friend is someone you earn

Through fights and heartache and lies

They will always stand by your side

So you must repay them in kind

When a storm cloud shadows their mind

Hold your arms out to them and say

Let me chase the darkness away
