The Oak Ridge Boys — Hold Me Closely

[Chorus] Hold me closely, hold me softly Don't let me fall on my own Love me gently, don't love me at all I'll get back on, on my feet right after I fall [Verse 1] There is a path in this place called my life Don't know if I can travel alone Need someone to take me by my hand Lead me safely to the promised land [Chorus] So hold me closely, hold me softly Don't let me fall on my own Love me gently, don't love me at all I'll get back on, on my feet right after I fall [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 2] Now in life's shadows we appear afraid But there will be light shine down on us someday Gracefully we're sighing, we've nothing to hide We'll meet again in the by and by
