George Benson — Hold Me

[Verse 1] When the picture tells it all There's no need for trying or pretending You whip your suitcase in the hall It's not a time for lying, no more crying I gave up what I may never see, return to me [Chorus] Hold me, like you used to do before Let me wrap my arms around you, baby You told me that you'd never leave no more So I wrap my life around you [Verse 2] Before the pleasure turns to shame It's a time for leaving not deceiving And though a promise has been made I would never hold you from what you need to do You keep the years But the moments I'll keep near forever dear [Chorus] Hold me, like you used to do before Let me wrap my arms around you, baby You told me that you'd never leave no more So I wrap my life around you [Instrumental] [Bridge] I gave a heart that I may never see return to me [Chorus] Hold me, like you used to do before Let me wrap my arms around you, baby You told me that you'd never leave no more So I wrap my life around you [Bridge] The passage of years My song you might hear In some caught-up and lonely café And wonder could it ever be That good again Guess we'll never know (We'll never know) [Outro] Hold me, like you used to do before Let me wrap my arms around you, baby You told me that you'd never leave no more So I wrap my life around you Hold me, like you used to do before Let me wrap my arms around you, baby You told me that you'd never leave no more So I wrap my life around you Hold me, like you used to do before Let me wrap my arms around you, baby You told me that you'd never leave no more So I wrap my life around you
