Tonight I had a happy hour
And I loved your gentle style
I grabbed the day with both hands
It has taken me a while

I’ve been waiting to breathe out
To look up and see you smile
Walking through your laughing country
Free from exile

But I must rise now and leave your company
The world is calling and the road is longer
And as I go now my heart is breaking
For will I ever see you again?

Through all tribulation
Through all fake pretence
Just an hour of your company
Gave my life true sense

Like a prisoner holding out
For a final visit
I see you through my empty glass
And only you can fill it

But I must rise now and leave your company
The world is calling and the road is longer
And as I go now my heart is breaking
For will I ever see you again?

What is this feeling and I hardly know you
What is this sorrow as I walk away

Hold onto this night, hold on forever
Hold onto this night, remember
Hold onto this night, hold on forever
Hold onto this night, remember
Hold onto this night, hold on forever
Hold onto this night, remember
Hold onto this night, hold on forever
Hold onto this night, remember
Hold onto this night, forever
