You'll be here to love me today
Just hold me and tell me
You'll be here to love me today
Well, the moon's come and gone
It's only the warm glow of wine
So just hold me and tell me
But I don't care, I want you to stay
The gamblers are chancin' their all
But the poets are demanding their pay
Though you and I both know

'Cept hold me and tell me

You'll be here to love me today
Just to hold me and tell me
The stage has been set For the play

Of abusing the wall
But a few stars hang on to the sky

The window's accusing the door

Well, the wind's runnin' free

Children are dancin'
Just hold me and tell me
You'll be here to love me today
But who cares what the night watchmen say
That's got you to feeling this way
You'll be here to love me today
But it ain't up to me to ask why
And they've left me with nothin' to say
