When I Hold You Tonight - General Degree

When I hold you in my arms It's a breath of fresh air, When I hold you in my arms I forget what's out there, All those people with their faces Walkin' up the street, They don't have to say a thing Just look around and you can see. New buildings going up, Old buildings coming down, New signs going up, Old signs coming down, You gotta hold onto something in this life. Well the older generation They got something to say, But they better say it fast Or get outta the way. All those gangsters with their crimes They make it look so good, We've been blowing up the planet Just like the old neighbourhood. New buildings going up, Old buildings coming down, New signs going up, Old signs coming down, You gotta hold onto something in this life. If I only had a heart It would beat all night for you, If I only had a heart I would cry the whole day through, When I hold you in my arms It's like a breath of fresh air, When I hold you in my arms I forget what's out there. Old heart's going up, Old heart's coming down, My feelings going up, My feelings coming down, You gotta hold onto someone in this life. When I hold you in my arms It's a breath of fresh air. When I hold you in my arms I forget what's out there.

Watching you stare down a sunset Like you ain't found what you're looking for Wishing that I could be it But all I can be is yours The girl on the downtown rooftop Didn't care what people think The girl before the boulevard of broken dreams Where is she? Go on Try and find The match that lit the fire that made you wild I'll be here Take your time Cry every single tear you need to cry I can't fix the world But I I can hold you tonight I don't ever want you to wonder Who you might have been on your own I don't ever wanna steal your thunder Or steal your heart I wanna be the one to steal your soul Go on Try and find The match that lit the fire that made you wild I'll be here Take your time Cry every single tear you need to cry I can't fix the world But I I can hold you tonight, oh-oh-oh Hold you tonight, oh-oh-oh The girl that no town could crumble Who I love more than anything The girl that makes me better than I could ever be Where is she? Go on Try and find The match that lit the fire that made you wild I'll be here Take your time Cry every single tear you need to cry I can't fix the world But I I can hold you tonight, oh-oh-oh I can hold you tonight, oh-oh-oh I can hold you tonight Hold you tonight Hey-ey-ey Hey-ey-ey Hey-ey-ey Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey Hold you tonight
