I Wanna Hold You Tonight

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
