Hold on To The Night
intro
Am Dm7 Cadd4 Gsus4
Am Cadd4 Gsus4
Just when I believed I couldn't ever want for more.
Am Cadd4 Gsus4
This ever changing world pushes me through another door.
Dm7 Am Cadd4 Gsus4
I saw you smile And my mind could not erase the beauty of your face
Dm7 Am Cadd4 Gsus4
Just for a while, Won't you let me shelter you.
C/G Cadd4 Gsus4
Hold on to the night
C/G Cadd4 Gsus4
Hold on to the memory
C/G Cadd4 Gsus4
I wish that I could give you something more,
That I could be yours
Am Dm7 Cadd4 Gsus4
Am Cadd4 Gsus4
How do we explain something that took us by surprise
Am Cadd4 Gsus4
Promises in vain Love that is real, but in disguise
Dm7 Am Cadd4 Gsus4
What happens now Do we break another rule, let our lovers play the fool?
Dm7 Am Cadd4 Gsus4
I don't know how to stop feeling this way
C/G Cadd4 Gsus4
Hold on to the night
C/G Cadd4 Gsus4
Hold on to the memory
C/G Cadd4 Gsus4
I wish that I could give you something more
Bm A
Well, I think that I've been true to everybody else but me
Cadd4 Gsus4
And the way I feel about you makes my heart long to be free
Bm A
Every time I look into your eyes I'm helplessly aware
Dm7 Cadd4 Gsus4
That the someone I've been searching for is right there
C/G Cadd4 Gsus4
Hold on to the night
C/G Cadd4 Gsus4
Hold on to the memory
C/G Cadd4 Gsus4
I wish that I could give you something more
