Lyric

[Verse 1]

The lanterns glow, the night is still

Your touch can chase the autumn chill

The world fades out, the stars break through

So darling, hold me close to you

[Chorus]

Hold me close to you tonight

Let our hearts be candlelight

No words can say what love can do

Just hold me close to you

[Verse 2]

The wind may sigh, the leaves may fall

But in your arms, I have it all

The dreams I kept have all come true

Since you have held me close to you

[Bridge]

And when the dawn begins to rise

I’ll see forever in your eyes

[Chorus – reprise]

Hold me close to you tonight

Let our hearts be candlelight

No words can say what love can do

Just hold me close to you
