Baby Can I Hold You

Ronan Keating · Ten Years Of Hits

Sorry,

Is all that you can say

Years gone by and still

Words don't come easily

Like sorry,

Like sorry



Forgive me,

Is all that you can say

Years gone by and still

Words don't come easily

Like forgive me,

Forgive me



But you can say, baby

Baby can I hold you tonight?

Baby, if I told you the right words

Mmmh, at the right time

You'll be mine



I love you

Is all that you can say

Years gone by and still

Words don't come easily

Like I love you,

I love you



But you can say, baby

Baby can I hold you tonight?

Baby, if I told you the right words

Mmmh, at the right time

You'll be mine



Baby can I hold you tonight?

Baby, if I told you the right words

Mmmh, at the right time

You'll be mine

You'll be mine

You'll be mine
