Before I go can I hold you close?
Because your light fills up my soul
And it's hard to explain the reasons why
Why I just need you by my side
Framed in the doorway by the first morning light
Heart was heavy
Bags by his side
She look over
She was trying hard to hide
That hollow feeling she felt inside
Before I go can I hold you close?
Because your light fills up my soul
And it's hard to explain the reasons why
Why I just need you by my side
There's time to walk away
There was nothing left to say
She allowed that tear to finally trickle down her face
He turned and tipped his hat
And said: angel now you be safe
There ain't nothing and I've gonna take your place
Before I go can I hold you close?
Because your life fills up my soul
And it's plain to see on these lonely nights
Why I just need you by my side
Sometimes he tears down when it rains
And you see the colours change
And the rainbow guides you home
Can I hold you close
Because that's the safest place I've ever known
And it's plain to see on these lonely nights
Why I just need you by my side
