Lyrics

Hold Back the Night
Words and music by Zane and Susan Rochette

I can remember the day you closed your eyes
Happier memories were filling up my skies

Feeling as if I would break apart with a touch
As day came by and took away the dark

Let me hold on to the dawn
Let me hold on to your hand
I don?t wanna face the day
I close my eyes to block out the light
Oh, bring back the dark
Bring back the night

I can remember the day I said goodbye
Holding your hand while you gave up your fight

Feeling as if I would break apart with a touch
As your breath, your life, your star faded away

Let me hold on to the dawn
Let me hold on to your hand
I don?t wanna face the day
I close my eyes to block out the light
Oh, bring back the star
Bring back the night

Memories of you are the oceans of my soul
My feelings of you were the twilight of your life
Anchors of loneliness won?t hold me anymore
Breaking from loneliness, I swim from your shore

I swim from your shore

Letting go of the dawn
Letting go of your hand
Getting up to face the day
I open my eyes and let in the light
Oh, hold back the dark
Hold back the night
