Hold Me
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 don’t need, you don’t need anybody
Nobody but me
I don’t need, I don’t need anybody
Nobody but you
You don’t need to say you love me
You don’t need to say that much
You don’t need to say you love me
'Cause I can tell by your tender touch
You’re the one to hold me
You’re the one to hold all my life
You’re the one to hold me
You’re the one to hold all my life
I don’t need your conversation
I don’t need your soul to sympathize
I can feel the sweetest sensations
Falling down just behind your eyes
You’re the one to hold me
You’re the one to hold all my life
You’re the one to hold me
You’re the one to hold all my life
Some days I walk in my own shadow
I do wish I had a walk to water life
Never feel my spirit freezing down that low
You can come drive away my darkness
You can make my life shine
You’re the one to hold me
You’re the one to hold all my life
You’re the one to hold me
You’re the one to hold all my life
You don’t need to say you love me
You don’t need to say that much
You never need to say you love me
I can tell by that tender touch
You’re the one to hold me
You’re the one to hold all my life
I want you just to hold me
You’re the one to hold all my life
You don’t need, you don’t need anybody
Nobody but me
I don’t need, I don’t need anybody
Nobody but you
