C5     G5                                             C5
      Your eyes seek conclusion in all this confusion of mine
               G5                                              C5
      But you and I both know it's only the warm glow of wine
                  F5
      That's got you to feelin' this way
                 C5
      But I don't care I want you to stay
      G5                                     F5       C5
      Hold me and tell me you'll Be Here To Love Me today.

      The children are dancin' the gamblers are chancin' their all
      The window's accusin' the door of abusin' the wall
      But who cares what the night watchmen say
      The stage has been set for the play
      So hold me and tell me you'll Be Here To Love Me today.


      The moon's come and gone but a few stars hang on to the sky
      Where the wind's runnin' free but it ain't up to me to ask why
      But the poets are demandin' their pay
      They've left me with nothin' to say
      'Cept hold me and tell me you'll Be Here To Love Me today.
