Lyrics

I met you in the dark, you lit me up,

We danced the night a way, we drank too much,

I held your hair back when you were throw ing up.

Then you smiled o ver your shoul der for a min ute, I was stone cold so ber.

I pulled you clos er to my chest.

And you asked as me to stay as o ver, I said, I that ev ’ry al rea dy told ya I think that you should get some rest.

I knew I loved you then but you’d nev er know

’cause I played ise it cool when I was (F)scared of let ting go.

I I know I need ed you but I nev ’ry er y showed,

and I wan na stay with you un (F)til we’re grey and old.

Just (C)say you won’t let (G)go.

Just (Am7)say you won’t let (F)go.

I wake you up with some break fast in bed,

I’ll bring you cof fee with (F)a kiss on your head.

I’ll take the kids to school, wave them good bye.

I’ll thank my luck y stars for were that ing night.

When you looked o ver your shoul der for a min ute I for get I’m old er.

I wan na dance with you right now.

And you look as beau ti ful as ev er and I swear that ev ’ry day you’ll get bet ter, you make me feel this way some how.

I’m so in love with you and I hope you know,

We’ve I come so far my dear, but look how ’ry we’ve y grown

and I wan na stay with you un (F)til we’re grey and old.

Just (Am7)say you won’t let (F)go.

I wan na live with you e ven when we’re ghosts

’cause you were al ways there for me when (F)I need ed you most.

(Am7)say you won’t let (F)go.

Just (C)say you won’t let (G)go.

Just (Am7)say you won’t let (F)go.
