hang on to me tonight

Singer:mick jagger

like a picture you came into my life

like a picture the colours fade away

love is fragile

you hide it from the light

it lasts forever and always stays the same

like a movie

you swept into my life

and like a movie

the stars just fade away

hang on to me tonight

stay close to me all day

hang on to me tonight

stay close to me all day

ah

honey

while there's youth upon your face

ah

honey

are you tiring of the race

my cards are on the table

you can get up and walk away

or stay

like a movie

you swept into my life

and like a movie

the stars just fade away

all the characters are mouthing out their lines

and the love scenes are shot in shades of grey

hang on to me tonight

stay close to me all day

hang on to me tonight

stay close to me all day

ah

baby

while there's youth upon your face

ah

baby

don't you lose that natural grace

my cards are on the table

you can get up and walk away

or stay

hang on to me tonight

stay close to me all day

hang on to me tonight

stay close to me all day
