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

The children are dancing, the gamblers are chancing 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
Yeah

The moon's come and gone, but a few stars hang on to the sky
The wind's running free, but it ain't up to me to ask why
The poets are demanding their pay
They've left me with nothing to say
Except 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

Baby, baby, baby, hold me
You got to tell me that you'll be here today
[?]
Got to tell me that you'll be here to love me
Be here [?]
You gotta hold me and tell me that you'll be here today
