Lyrics

Just when I be lieved

I could n’t (G)ev er want for more,

this ev er chang ing world

push es me (G)through an oth er door.

I saw you smile

and my (G)mind could not e rase the our (Gsus)beau ty of your (G)face.

Just for a while,

won’t you (G)let

feel me shel ter you?

Hold on to the nights.

Hold on to the mem o ries.

I wish that I could (F)give you some thing (Gsus)more,

that I could be yours.

How do we ex plain

some thing that (G)took us by sur prise?

this Prom is es in vain,

love that is (G)real, but in dis guise.

What hap pens now?

Do we (G)break an oth er rule, let our (Gsus)lov ers play the (G)fool?

I don’t know how

won’t to (G)stop

feel ing this way.

you?

Hold on to the nights.

Hold on to the mem o ries.

I wish that I could (F)give you some thing (Gsus)more,

that I could be yours.

If on ly I could (F)give you (Gsus)more.

Well, I (Bm)think that I’ve been true to ev ’ry (A)bod y else but me, and the (Dm7)way I feel a bout you makes my (G)heart long to be free.

Ev ’ry (Bm)time I look in to your eyes, I’m (A)help less ly a ware that the (Dm7)some one I’ve been search ing for is (F6)right (E)there.

Hold on to the nights.

Hold on to the mem o ries.

I wish that I could (G)give you (Asus)more.

Oh.

Hold on to the nights.
