Don’t let me go

Intro

Verse 1

The clock on the wall is ticking too loud

A thief in the night, stealing time from the crowd

The world outside is a cold, rushing stream

But here in the quiet, we’re living a dream

Your heartbeat is steady, a rhythm I know

A fortress against all the winds that will blow

Pre-Chorus

I see the morning light creep on the floor

But I’m not ready to walk out that door

So close the curtains, let’s hide from the day

There’s only one thing I need to say

Chorus

Don’t let me go, not just yet

Let’s linger in moments we won't forget

Keep me wrapped in the warmth of your arms

Shielded away from the world and its harms

I need the scent of your cologne in the air

The touch of your hand running through my hair

Just hold me tighter, make the shadows retreat

Safe in your shelter, my heart skips a beat

Don’t let me go

(Please don't let go)

Bridge

Verse 2

Your mighty frame is the castle I keep

Watching over me while I’m asleep

The strength in your shoulders, the calm in your breath

A love that protects me from sorrow and death

I’m fragile today, like glass in the rain

But you are the anchor that steadies the pain

Pre-Chorus

I see the morning light creep on the floor

But I’m not ready to walk out that door

So close the curtains, let’s hide from the day

There’s only one thing I need to say

Chorus

Don’t let me go, not just yet

Let’s linger in moments we won't forget

Keep me wrapped in the warmth of your arms

Shielded away from the world and its harms

I need the scent of your cologne in the air

The touch of your hand running through my hair

Just hold me tighter, make the shadows retreat

Safe in your shelter, my heart skips a beat

Don’t let me go

(Please don't let go)

Bridge

The world is too heavy, the city too wide

I need a place where my spirit can hide

Five more minutes, or maybe an hour

Give me your stillness, give me your power

Just stay right here

Keep me near

Chorus

Don’t let me go, not just yet

Let’s linger in moments we won't forget

Keep me wrapped in the warmth of your arms

Shielded away from the world and its harms

I need the scent of your cologne in the air

The touch of your hand running through my hair

Just hold me tighter, make the shadows retreat

Safe in your shelter, my heart skips a beat

Don’t let me go

(Please don't let go)

Don’t let me go, not just yet

Let’s linger in moments we won't forget

Keep me wrapped in the warmth of your arms

Shielded away from the world and its harms

I need the scent of your cologne in the air

The touch of your hand running through my hair

Just hold me tighter, make the shadows retreat

Safe in your shelter, my heart skips a beat

Don’t let me go

(Please don't let go)

Outro

Feel the warmth of your hands once again

A healing balm for the worry and strain

Protected and safe, where I belong

Right here with you is where I am strong

Don’t let me go

(Please don't let go)

Just hold me close

Don’t let me go
