Exile – Hang On to Your Heart Lyrics
The band was playing, kinda, something low
All the lovers swaying, to and fro
You and me, together, dancing real slow
Tonight’s the night, I want you to know
I can’t hold out any longer
Remember, love can’t grow
Oh, very much stronger
You better hang on to your heart, hold on tight
Or I’m gonna steal it away, tonight
I’ll take you in my arms and never ever let you go
There’s a new moon out, the stars are shining bright
You’re here with me and it feels so right
So hang on to your heart
Or I’m gonna steal it away
You’re living proof, that dreams come true
I can’t believe, I’m really holding you
So close, so tight, all night through
If I could only make time stand still, forever
It’ll always be
Just you and me
Here, together
You better hang on to your heart, hold on tight
Or I’m gonna steal it away, tonight
I’ll take you in my arms and never ever let you go
There’s a new moon out, the stars are shining bright
You’re here with me and it feels so right
So hang on to your heart
Or I’m gonna steal it away
Hang on, hang on
Hang on to your heart
Hang on, hang on
Hang on to your heart
Hang on, hang on
Hang on to your heart
Hang on, hang on
Hang on to your heart
GENIUS
