(Intro) (Smooth Rhodes piano softly playing, deep layered humming) Mmm... yeah... Hold me close, don't let go... (Verse 1) Shadows dancing on the bedroom wall I sit alone and wait for your call The midnight breeze is whispering your name And my heart just can't play this waiting game You say you love me, but you stay so far Left me reaching for a distant star (Pre-Chorus) (Vocal harmonies swelling, gospel-style ad-libs) 'Cause every touch you give feels like magic in the dark And every word you speak leaves a fire in my heart Can we stop running from what we feel inside? (Chorus) (Full 3-part female choir harmony, rich and soulful) Tell me that you're mine, don't keep me in the rain Take away the sorrow, heal away the pain Like a sweet devotion, pouring through my soul Baby, take my hand and never let me go (Vocal ad-lib: Oh, never let me go...) (Verse 2) Lying awake in the quiet night Wishing your body was holding me tight I hear the echo of the promises made Hoping this feeling will never fade So look in my eyes and tell me no lies (Pre-Chorus) (Vocal harmonies swelling, powerful dynamic build) 'Cause every touch you give feels like magic in the dark And every word you speak leaves a fire in my heart Can we stop running from what we feel inside? (Chorus) (Full 3-part female choir harmony, soaring lead vocal) Tell me that you're mine, don't keep me in the rain Take away the sorrow, heal away the pain Like a sweet devotion, pouring through my soul Baby, take my hand and never let me go (Bridge) (Music drops to just bass and Rhodes, raw vocal belts) I don't need the world, I just need your grace Safe inside the warmth of your embrace So bring your love home... (Harmonies join: Bring it home to me...) Yeah, bring it home... (Chorus) (Maximum energy, layered harmonies, high emotional belts) Tell me that you're mine, don't keep me in the rain Take away the sorrow, heal away the pain Like a sweet devotion, pouring through my soul Baby, take my hand and never let me go (Outro) (Fading bass and piano, lush stacked harmonies) Never let me go... Ooh, yeah... Just keep me in your arms... (Soft unison hums fading out)
