Hold Me
Frankie Avalon · Other Songs - Frankie Avalon
When you're far away I'm always blue
If you want me to remain romantic
Here are all the things you'll have to do
Hold me honey won't you hold he
Hold me never let me go
Take me honey won't you take me
Never to forsake me
'Cause I love you so
Thrill me, let your kisses thrill me
Just like you alone can do
Hold me tenderly enfold me
Never try to hold me from you
I love every little thing about you
Every thing you say and all you do
I would be a total loss without you
What becomes of me is up to you
Hold me honey won't you hold me
Hold me never let me go
Take me honey won't you take me
Never to forsake me
'Cause I love you so
Thrill me Let your kisses thrill me
Just like you alone can do
Hold me tenderly, enfold me
Hold Me
Frankie Avalon's "Hold Me" stands as a quintessential example of the polished pop sound that defined the late 1950s and early 1960s. Emerging during a period when Avalon was solidifying his status as a teen idol, the track showcases his smooth, melodic vocal delivery and the genre's characteristic romantic sentimentality. While often overshadowed by his massive hits like "Venus" and "Why," this recording captures the intimate, ballad-driven side of his extensive discography. The song reflects the production values of the era, relying on lush orchestration and a steady rhythm to convey emotional depth without excessive complexity. As part of Avalon's broader body of work, "Hold Me" remains a testament to his ability to deliver consistent, radio-friendly performances that resonated with audiences across generations.
