When the night gets
   hard to handle
      and you feel like giving in
Have a little faith--
   think about me, baby...

'Cause you know I'll never doubt you
   it's just hard to be without you
      until you're back again...

		I just gotta hold on (hold on)
		       ...Take it night by night
		I just gotta hold on
		It's been so long since it
		       felt so right
		Hold on (hold on)
		      ...Take it night by night
				by night

And I can still hear the words
   you whispered
      in the heat of a velvet night
Tell me once again--
   say it to me, slowly...

'Cause sometimes I can even hold you
   Remember what I told you
      'cause I'll be back again...

		So darling hold on (hold on)
		       ...Take it night by night
		You just gotta hold on
		It's been so long since it
		       felt so right
		Hold on (hold on)
		      ...Take it night by night

    Talk about a heartache
    knowing that I could be in
         heaven tonight
    If I had you, baby,
         right here beside me...

		So I just gotta hold on
		       ...And take it night by night
		You just gotta hold on
		It's been so long since it
		       felt so right
		Hold on
		      ...Take it night by night

		Hold on (hold on)
		      ...Take it night by night
		You just gotta hold on
		It's been so long since it
		       felt so right
		Hold on (hold on)
		      ...Take it night by night
				by night

		Night by night
		ooh, you gotta hold on
		I said night by night 
				by night 
				by night
				by night
				by night
				by night
		ooh, ooh, ooh baby
