Won't you hold me just a little closer
Tell me that you love me true
When you hold me just a little closer
This is what I want from you

Just a little fond affection
That is all I'm thinking of
I have been in Heaven since the day I found you
It is really Heaven with my arms around you

Just a little fond affection
Cheers me when I'm feeling blue
Just a little love, a little affection
Dear, from you

As recorded by KATE SMITH with
Four Chicks And Chuck:

Just a little fond affection
That is all I'm thinking of
I have been in Heaven
Since the day I found you
It is really Heaven
With my arms around you

Just a little fond affection
It cheers me when I'm feeling blue
Just a little love, a little affection
Dear, from you

(Just a little fond affection)
You know that that is all I'm thinking of
(I have been in Heaven)
(Since the day I found you)
Why, it is really Heaven
With my arms around you

(Just a little fond affection)
It cheers me when I'm feeling blue
(Just a little love, a little affection)
(Dear, from you)

Now, just a little fond affection
That is all I'm thinking of
Say, I have been in heaven
Since the day I found you
It is really heaven
With my arms around you

Just a little fond affection
It cheers me when I'm feeling blue
Just a little love, (A little affection)
Dear, from you
(Just some affection from you)
