If I Can't Hold You

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.

I lay awake all night long

I lay awake all night long

Yesterday is so far away

I think of things we’ll never do

It keeps me up all night long

I spend my time all alone now

I spend my time all alone

I try to call you on the phone

Even though you won’t be home

I spend my time all alone

I can’t dream about you

If I can’t hold you tonight

I can’t dream about you

If I can’t hold you tonight

I can’t hold you tonight

I can’t hold you tonight

I can’t hold you tonight

I can’t hold you tonight

I lay awake all night long

I lay awake all night long

I can’t dream about you

If I can’t hold you tonight

I can’t dream about you

If I can’t hold you tonight

I can’t hold you tonight

I can’t hold you tonight

I can’t hold you tonight

I can’t hold you tonight

I've lived a thousand lives

And seen a thousand shores

I ask myself now, what went wrong?

I, I, I can't, I, I, I, I can't

I, I, I can't, I, I, I, I can't hold you tonight

I lay awake all night long

I lay awake all night long

Yesterday is so far away

I think of things we’ll never do

It keeps me up all night long

I put a flower on your grave

I put a flower on your grave

We both know that you’re not dead

But sometimes it hurts so bad

I just don’t know what to do

I can’t dream about you

If I can’t hold you tonight

I can’t dream about you

If I can’t hold you tonight

I can’t hold you tonight

I can’t hold you tonight

I can’t hold you tonight

I can’t hold you tonight
