Lyrics The Oak Ridge Boys

The Oak Ridge Boys

Hold Me Closely

Hold me closely, hold me softly

Don’t let me fall on my own,

Love me gently, don’t love me at all

I’ll get back on my feet right after I fall.

There is a path in this place called my life

Don’t know if I can travel alone

Need someone to take me by my hand

Lead me safely to the promised land.

So hold me closely, hold me softly

Don’t let me fall on my own,

Love me gently, don’t love me at all

I’ll get back on my feet right after I fall.

Now in life’s shadows we appear afraid

But there will be light shine down on us someday

Gracefully we’re sighing, we’ve nothing to hide

We’ll meet again in the by and by.
