[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Your coat's left on the chair, ash on the windowsill, Your laugh hangs in the doorway, the room is standing still. Faces blur in doorway light; I keep running back to you, A broken record, cigarette ash — I don't know what else to do. [Pre-chorus] Heart's a tired drum, footsteps on the stair, Say a single word and I'll be there. [Chorus] Hold me one more time, say you'll stay awhile, Hold me one more time — let me see your smile. Hold me one more time, keep me in your light, Hold me one more time, don't let go tonight. [Verse 2] Marquee's half-lit promises, coins jingling in my hand, Your name on every corner where I thought we'd make a stand. Barroom confessions tremble with the streetlight's slow refrain, I follow the thin trail of smoke that takes me to your name. [Pre-chorus] Closer now, the city breathes, morning on the climb, Whisper once and I'll be yours in time. [Chorus] Hold me one more time, say you'll stay awhile, Hold me one more time — let me see your smile. Hold me one more time, keep me in your light, Hold me one more time, don't let go tonight. [Bridge] I'll swap these lonely nights for the sudden flare of you, Burn every empty hour just to hear that laugh come through. Take my tired hands, tell me this won't end in vain, I'll trade a thousand yesterdays to bring you back again. [Final Chorus (big)] Hold me one more time, say you'll stay awhile, Hold me one more time — let me see your smile. Hold me one more time, keep me in your light, Hold me one more time, don't let go tonight. Hold me one more time — don't let go tonight.
