Lyrics:
This life don't last forever (Hold my Hand)
So tell me what we're waiting for
(Hold my Hand)
We're better off being together
(Hold my Hand)
Than being miserable alone (Hold my Hand)

Cause I've been there before and you've been there before
But together we can be alright
Cause when it gets dark and when it gets cold
We'll hold each other 'till we see the sun light

So if you just
Hold my Hand
Baby I promise that I'll do
All I can
Things will go better if you just
Hold my Hand
Nothing can come between us if you just
Hold, Hold my, Hold my, Hold my Hand

The nights are getting darker (Hold my Hand)
And there's no peace inside (Hold my Hand)
So why make our life harder (Hold my Hand)
By fighting love tonight (Hold my Hand)

Cause I've been there before and you've been there before
But together we can be alright
Cause when it gets dark and when it gets cold
We'll hold each other 'till we see the sun light

So if you just
Hold my Hand
Baby I promise that I'll do
All I can
Things will go better if you just
Hold my Hand
Nothing can come between us if you just
Hold, Hold my, Hold my, Hold my Hand

I can tell that you're tired of being lonely
Take my hand, don't let go, baby hold me
Come to me and let me be your one and only
Cause I can make it alright 'till the morning
I can tell that you're tired of being lonely
Take my hand, don't let go, baby hold me
Come to me and let me be your one and only
Cause I can make it alright 'till the morning

Hold my Hand
Baby I promise that I'll do
All I can
Things will go better if you just
Hold my Hand
Nothing can come between us if you just
Hold, Hold my, Hold my, Hold my Hand
