HOLD ME TIGHT

Holding hands we walked along
I began to sing you a song.

Hold me tight, darling
Don't let your partner go
Don't let her go wandering
You might lose her also.

Years passed swiftly
You shifted without a note
I waited for your mail patiently
Wishing to read what
you had written.

Each morning
The postman passed by
Still I stood waiting
But nothing arrived.

The day I gazed the cloudy sky
Finally, your mail arrived
I was as happy as could be
That you hadn't forgotten me.

I read your note without delay
What I learnt that day
Was not a joke we always played.

You apologised for this late reply
You were too busy to write
'Cause you were getting married
To someone else.

I was dazed
The rain drizzled
Your letter slipped
And got stained by the rain.

What more could I tell you
What more could I do
But write this one and only song for you.

Hold her tight darling,
Don't let her go
Don't let her go wandering
You might lose her also.
