hang on to me tonight

Mick Jagger

Like a picture you came into my life
Like a picture the colours fade away
Love is fragile, you hide it from the light
It lasts forever and always stays the same

Like a movie, you swept into my life
And like a movie, the stars just fade away

Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me all day
Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me all day

Ah, honey, while there's youth upon your face
Ah, honey, are you tiring of the race
My cards are on the table
You can get up and walk away
Or stay

Like a movie, you swept into my life
And like a movie, the stars just fade away
All the characters are mouthing out their lines
And the love scenes are shot in shades of grey

Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me all day
Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me all day

Ah, baby, while there's youth upon your face
Ah, baby, don't you lose that natural grace
My cards are on the table
You can get up and walk away
Or stay

Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me all day
Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me all day
