Hot as a diamond, I'm soft as a last goodbye These are the things we learn to be Calm as a distant light that shines on an island night These are the thoughts that say It's not too late to tell you I know I wanna tell you I wanna hold you tonight I wanna hold you tonight I wanna hold you tonight I wanna be there to get you from away Cold as the arctic ice, hot as a passion's rise These are the days I spend alone Pure as an infant's heart that beats through the light and dark These are the pictures of you always getting closer I wanna hold you closer I wanna hold you tonight I wanna hold you tonight I wanna hold you tonight I wanna be there with love's last goodbye I wanna hold you tonight I wanna hold you tonight I wanna hold you tonight I wanna be there to get you from away I only wish my heart could fly Like it does when I sleep and dream And never wake at all again As I hold you tenderly My thoughts were real, I'd be with you now It's the only part that's wrong It's a lonely night, I'm not trying to hold on I wanna hold you tonight I wanna hold you tonight I wanna hold you tonight I wanna be there with love's last goodbye I wanna hold you tonight I wanna hold you tonight I wanna hold you tonight I wanna be there to get you from away I wanna hold you tonight I wanna hold you tonight I wanna hold you tonight I wanna be there when love starts to fade I wanna hold you tonight I wanna hold you tonight I wanna hold you tonight
