HOLD ME TIGHT (Shirley Bassey)
Lister

as rec by Shirley Bassey & The Rita Williams Singers w Geoff Love & his Orch  
April 13th 1961


Hold me tight,
Hold me tight,
Want to feel your touch.
Hold me long,
Hold me strong,
I can't have too much!

Hold me near,
For you know my dear,
This is the moment I adore,
'Cause I ain't had no loving since you went away,
And although it was only yesterday,
I'ts long enough for me to say,
"Hold me, hold me so tight!".

There are sixty minutes in a long long hour,
Counting the seconds as they go!
Eight long hours in a lonely night,
That's when the time drags slow!

Gotta get some sleep 'cause it's ten long hours
Till I'm with you again;
Then honey, I have found
That old clock just races round,
So don't waste time, darling, when;

You can hold me tight,
Hold me tight,
Want to feel your touch.
Hold me long,
Hold me strong,
I can't have too much!

Hold me near,
For you know my dear,
This is the moment I adore,
'Cause I ain't had no loving since you went away,
And although it was only yesterday,
I'ts long enough for me to say,
"Hold me, hold me so tight!
Just treat your baby so right!
And please - turn out the light!".
