Hold Me Tighter

Dottie West · Country Girl [RCA Victor] [1968]

(Willie Nelson)



I thought if I could be with you maybe I'd feel better

But I'm afraid I took advantage of your love

I thought if you'd just hold me tight maybe I'd forget him

But I don't suppose as yet you've held me tight enough.



Please hold me tighter I still remember

Put your arms around me hold me close hold me tight and long

Please hold me tighter I still remember

And I can't love again until his mem'ry's gone.



--- Instrumental ---



Please hold me tighter I still remember

Put your arms around me hold me close hold me tight and long

Please hold me tighter I still remember

And I can't love again until his mem'ry's gone...
