HOLD ME IN THE FADING LIGHT

 

Hold Me in the Fading LightHold me close, though I know you’re leaving soon,
Let your warmth linger like a summer afternoon.
Show me, with your eyes, the reasons you would stay,
Even if it’s just a whisper, a promise in the gray.
It’s just enough to feel your breath, soft against my skin,
A fleeting touch that calms the storm within.
You’ve got to hold me now, in this fragile space,
Before the night falls, before you leave this place. Give me just a fragment of your soul to keep,
A piece of you to hold when shadows creep.
And keep me, like a secret, in the corners of your heart,
So I’m with you, even when we’re worlds apart.
It’s just enough to steal my heart and run,
To chase the light until the day is done,
And fade out with the falling sun,
Leaving echoes of what we’ve begun. Oh, please don’t go, not yet, not now,
Let me have you for one more vow.
Oh, all I need is a moment more,
To feel your presence, to feel secure.
You’ve got to hold me, keep me near,
In this quiet space where love and fear appear. Tell me that someday you’ll return to me,
That this goodbye is not eternity.
And maybe, just maybe, I’ll believe,
In a future where you don’t have to leave.
It’s just enough to see a shooting star,
A fleeting light that says you’re never far.
It’s just enough to know you’re never gone,
That in the night, your memory lives on. Oh, please don’t go, not while the stars still shine,
Let me have you for one more sign.
Oh, all I need is a moment more,
To feel your heartbeat, to feel restored.
Oh, please don’t go, not while the moon is high,
Let me have you before we say goodbye.
Oh, all I want is just one moment more,
To hold you close, to feel your core.
You’ve got to hold me, and maybe then,
I’ll believe that we’ll meet again. So hold me now, though I know you’re leaving soon,
