Story Behind The Song
My friend challenged me to write a song about hugs because he & his wife were so busy they barely had time to say "hi" in the hall as they passed by. They wanted encouragement to stop & hug each other more.

Lyrics
Gimme-a-Hug
I?ve been waiting for the right moment ? to tell you how I feel
To open up and give to you ? the deepest part of me
But I?ve been afraid that somehow ? you wouldn?t understand
How the feelings I have here inside could come from a man
I love so much that words cannot convey ?
So come over here ? wrap your arms around me
And FEEL what I?m trying to say?..
Gimme-a-hug ? nice and snug
Gimme-a-hug today
Like two bugs in a rug ? when you Gimme-a-hug
You know I?m gonna stay
When you Gimme-a-hug ? I feel the love
I can?t seem to convey
So Gimme-that-hug ? fill it with love
Go ahead and squeeze away
Love?s so hard to show ? when you?re on the go
I?ve got lots of things to do
But, honey my love?s always there for you
Gimme-a-hug ? nice and snug
Gimme-a-hug today
Like two bugs in a rug ? when you Gimme-a-hug
You know I?m gonna stay
You know I?ll always love you ? I want you by my side
I love to do things with you ? and I?m so glad you take the time
TO ? Hug me in the morning ? HUG me at night
In your special way ? Gimme-a-hug fill me with Delight
Go a head and make my day
Gimme-a-hug ? nice and snug
Gimme-a-hug today
Like two bugs in a rug ? when you Gimme-a-hug
You know I?m gonna stay??mmmmmmmmm
