Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the shadow of the night
See the pain and the fear and fright in you
I see the look baby in your eyes
And what you say is no surprise to me

[Chorus]
(Said baby)
Hold me close, hold me tight
Say you'll never leave me in the night, I need you
(Pretty baby)
Hold me close, hold me tight
Say you'll never leave me in the night, I need you

[Verse 2]
In the distant coming years
Looking through my deepest fears I see you
I need you here but you walk away
Left me with three words to say: I love you

[Chorus]
(Oh) Say baby,
Hold me close, hold me tight
Say you'll never leave me in the night, I need you
Pretty baby,
Hold me close, hold me tight
Say you'll never leave me in the night, I need you

(Oh)
(Oh)
(Oh)

[Chorus]
(Oh Say baby)
Hold me close, hold me tight
Say you'll never leave me in the night, I need you
(Pretty baby)
Hold me close, hold me tight
Say you'll never leave me in the night, I need you

[Bridge]
Well I'm feeling distant I'm torn with rage
I'm 17 years old showing lines of age
baby in the darkness in my mind
Peace I just can't seem to find
I need you back baby in my life
Why can't I do nothing right for you
Ohhhh

[Chorus]
(Oh Say baby},
hold me close, hold me tight
Say you'll never leave me in the night, I need you
Pretty baby, hold me close, hold me tight
Say you'll never leave me in the night, I need you----
(I need you)
(I need you)
