Hold Me Closer

The shadows stretch across the floor

We're quiet standing by the door

Your coat is on,

you have to go

But time is moving way too

slow

Oh, won't you stay a little longer?

Just let the world wait outside the room

(ooh) My heart is beating soft and stronger

Stay in this quiet afternoon

The tea is cold,

the candle low

But in this warmth we try to slow

The ticking hands upon the wall

We don't need anywhere at all

Just one more minute here with you

(just one more)

Before the starlight fades to

blue

Oh, won't you stay a little longer?

Just let the world wait outside the

room (ooh) My heart is beating soft and stronger

Stay in this quiet afternoon

Stay with me... (stay)
