Hold me close and don't let go;

I'm so scared to be alone.

I've been by myself for too long,

And always had to be strong.

Now I only want to rest;

And lay my head on your chest.

Hold me close and don't let go;

These wars I fight no one knows.

Now whisper how you love me,

Say it tender and softly.

I am weary and soon will sleep,

But with you no longer will I weep.

So hold me close and don't let go,

For I never want to be alone.
