I want you to hold me, oh my darling
& never, never let me go
Oh kiss me & tell me you love me
Yeah yeah because I, I I I I I, I I love you so
(I I love you, I love you so)
When I'm alone, alone & troubled
& my life seems dark as night
All I ask, I'll ask you please
Yeah yeah, baby won't you be, won't you be be be, be my guiding light
(Won't you be be my guiding light)
You know I get such a strange sensation
Every time I hear your name
Now all of my friends & my relations
They say I'm loving you (loving you) loving you in vain
Yeah yeah
Snuggle, snuggle on my shoulder
Come on & tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me that you care
& as my love, my love, my love, my love grows older
Yeah yeah, tell me that the flame, that the flame flame flame
Flame will still be there
(That the flame flame will still be)
Yeah yeah (darlin', wo oh)
Hold me baby (darlin', wo oh) hold me
