Hold Back the Night Lyrics

I've been looking for an answer in the sky
Can you hear me? 'Cause I need a reason why
I think I'm in trouble with my heart out on my sleeve
So I'm calling, 'cause I need her as I live and breathe
Don't let the sun go down
'Cause tomorrow she'll be gone
Chorus:
Give me one more day and I'll make her stay
Hold back the night
If you're really there and you hear my prayer
Hold back the night

Hold back the night, oh the night
Every minute it gets closer to goodbye
Can't you give me just a few more hours to change your mind
Don't let tomorrow in
'Cause I just can't face it alone

(Chorus)

I watch the light fading to black
I'm counting on you to build me a bridge
So I can bring her back
[Instrumental break]

Don't let the sun go down
'Cause tomorrow she will be gone

(Chorus)

(One more day, make her stay) hold back the night
If you're really there and you hear my prayer, hold back the night
