Lyrics

Shiny And New
© 2007 Eric Henderson

Won't you hold me tonight
Just hold me tonight
Like you used to do
And love me the way
That you did on the day
That I married you
And then keep holdin' on
'Cause the moments 'till dawn
Are so precious and so few
Just hold me tonight
Make this old tarnished love
Turn shiny and new

That's what she said
As she climbed into bed
And snuggled up close to me
But I rolled to the right
And turned out the light
Didn't want her company
When I awoke
All I found was this note
Lying there next to me
Said baby now my love is still strong
But something is wrong
Don't want to cause you misery
And I heard her say...

Won't you hold me tonight
Just hold me tonight
Like you used to do
And love me the way
That you did on the day
That I married you
And then keep holdin' on
'Cause the moments 'till dawn
Are so precious and so few
Just hold me tonight
Make this old tarnished love
Turn shiny and new

I asked all my friends,"have you seen her?"
I couldn't think where I should start
Then i a moment I knew
Where I carved I love you
And forever inside a heart
She sat by the base of that old apple tree
Right where years before I got down on one knee
And I asked for her hand, so I asked once again
And I begged her to come home to me

Let me hold you tonight
Let me hold you tonight
Like I used to do
C'mon..
Let me love you the way
That I did on the day
That I married you
I swear
I'm gonna keep holdin' on
'Cause the moments 'till dawn
Are so precious and so few
Baby let me hold you tonight
Like I used to do
Let me give back those years
That I've taken from you
Let me hold you tonight
Make this old tarnished love
Turn shiny and new
