Lyrics: David Gray. Holding You.

Holding you



When you reach for me

in the middle of the night

or in the wee hours

of the morning

That is when i feel happiest

Because you are free

Because you are vulnerable

Nevertheless

you still reach out to me

no time to analyze the situation

no time to think about the pros and cons

no contrivance

Just understanding what you want

what you need

You just want to be close to me

because you know

that i care ABOUT YOU

Want to feel the softness

the warmth

the tenderness

the intimacy

My heart fills with JOY

when you do this

SO spontaneously

so naturally

without thinking about any consequences

so spontaneously

SO naturally


without thinking about any consequences

because you feel safe with me

because you feel safe with me

It AWAKENS my mind

raises it to a higher level

So sincere and loving

it means more to me

than any words that you could say

reach for me

When you are somewhere

between night and morning

between consciousness and sleep

reach for me

My heart will soar

because it's just you and me

between the sheets

in the still of the night

No noise to distract

No noise to stifle

the heartfelt joy i will feel

bursting inside me

when i hold you close to my heart

when i hold you close to my heart

in the still of the night
