You're wanting to be free I know that you don't love me But let me hold you close before you go I won't let the teardrops fall Until your steps are down the hall But let me hold you close before you go Before you go and say goodbye Let your heart beat with mine This memory I'll have of you While I'm alone Let the time cease to be These last moments you with me But let me hold you close before you go All the pain will come soon Falling is well filled But let me hold you close before you go My heart is breaking in two There's nothing left I'm losing But let me hold you close before you go Before you go and say goodbye Let your heart beat with mine This memory I'll have of you While I'm alone Let the time cease to be These last moments you with me But let me hold you close before you go But let me hold you close before you go
