I Wanna Hold You Tonight lyrics

Hard as a diamond's eye
Soft as a last goodbye
These are the things we learn to be

Calm as a distant light
That shines on an island night
These are the thoughts that say:
It's not too late to tell you,
I know I wanna tell you

I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna be there to catch you from falling

Cold as the arctic ice
Hot as a passion's rise
These are the days I spend alone
Pure as an infant's heart
That beats through the light and dark
These are the pictures of you
Always getting closer
I wanna hold you closer

I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna be there when love starts calling

I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna be there to catch you from falling

I only wish my heart
Could fly like it does
When I sit and dream
I'll never wake again
As I hold you tenderly
My thoughts were real
And being with you now is the only
thought that's strong,
It's a lonely night, and I'm trying
to hold on...

I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna be there when love starts calling

I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna be there to catch you from falling
