Lyrics
Holding Me Tonight
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
you say you're not worthy of me
But how do you know when you can't see
Your eyes where midnight catches fire
I can't describe this dizzy desire
Can you be so insecure
That you don't know what this grin is for
Do you think I always act this way
Silly and silent, and eager to stay
When you're holding me tonight
Holding me tonight
You think it's all a mistake
That I'm lost in a dream from which I'll wake up
There you'll be just another guy
You could never be but I dare you to try
When you're holding me
Holding me tonight
I walk into your room
You blush when I see it in a mess
So I undress and close my eyes
A room with a view
Is in the dark with you
But that should come as no suprise
it's not a matter of mind
The choice of the heart is a different kind
It's always been a mystery
When you walk into the room It happens to me
And when you're holding me
