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