Hold Me

It’s Friday night and here I sit again
Wanting to be free from lonliness and anxiety

I want more , more than you can know
Relationships or even friendships with a door
I’m getting older and these nights leave me cold
Arms are empty, heart is hurting and
I’ve nothing, no nothing, once more

Father hear my cry -do you know my hearts desire?
Wanting to be loved by someone
And be held tight by the arms of that special guy…

Father hold me because until that day
This lonely heart will only have your arms
To warm my lonely nights
Father wipe away these tears!
Show me how to be content
With the love you have for me!

I want more, my heart longs for romance novels,
Movie specials, false reality.
Show me how to turn around,
Knowing you are constant even through the
Singles battleground.

Once again, I lay it all down,
Knowing you will heal my hurt and hold me tight
And make me completely yours.

Father hold me because until that day
This lonely heart will only have your arms
To warm my lonely nights
Father wipe away these tears!
Show me how to be content
With the love you have for me!
