Your eyes seek conclusion in all this confusion of mine
Though you and I both know it´s only the warm glow of wine
That´s got you to feeling this way, but I don´t care,
I want you to stay
and hold me and tell me you´ll be here to love me today

Children are dancin´, the gamblers are chancin´ their all
The window´s accusing the door of abusing the wall
But who cares what the night watchmen say
The stage has been set for the play
Hold me and tell me you´ll be here to love me today

The moon´s come and gone but a few stars hang on on to the sky
The wind´s runnin´ free but it ain´t up to me ask why
The poets are demanding their pay
They´ve left me with nothin´ to say
´cept hold me and tell me you´ll be here to love me today
Just hold me and tell me that you´ll be here to love me today
