When the night gets
   hard to handle
      and you feel like giving in
Have a little faith--
   think about me, baby...

'Cause you know I never doubt you
   it's just hard to be without you
      until you're back again...


   (CHORUS:)
   I just gotta hold on
       ...Take it night by night
   Hold on
   It's been so long since it
       felt so right
   Hold on
      ...Take it night by night


I can still hear the words
   you whispered
      in the heat of a velvet night
Tell me once again--
   say it to me, slowly...

'Cause sometimes I can even hold you
   Remember what I told you
      'cause I'll be back again...


   (CHORUS)

   (BRIDGE:)
    Talk about a heartache
    knowing that I could be in
         heaven tonight
    If I had you, baby,
         right here beside me...


   (CHORUS)
