Hold Fast, My Dear

Hold fast, my dear
In every moment of doubt
That's all I ask of you
I won't let you down
I promise it'll be okay
It won't matter what they say they're just words to me
I've told you, you shouldn't ever pay them any mind
You know it ain't worth your tears
Sometimes I guess I don't know what to say
You know, lately I've been trying just as hard as I can
Every single night I've been staying up late
Just trying get a grasp or a hand
There are so many places I could take you away
Someday, when I get the chance, I'm going to make it right
Got my eyes set on San Francisco Bay
To see Ferlinghetti's City Lights
Hold fast, my dear
In every moment of doubt
That's all I ask of you
I won't let you down
I know I've been distant lately
Each day it feels like I keep chasing time
I can't tell you where it's ever going to take me
Now, all I can say is that I'll make it mine
I swear it this time that I'll straighten up
And find a way that we can finally make ends meet
You won't have to worry about a thing anymore
You hear me? Just you wait and see
Cause' one day we're going to celebrate right
And you can taste every flavour of red wine
And I'll buy you a pretty little dress
That maybe you can wear sometime
Hold fast, my dear
In every moment of doubt
That's all I ask of you
I won't let you down
I've watched the way you look at me lately
You could sweat a lawyer with those faithful eyes
And I swear every time they turn and face me
I just break inside
Let them all get on and say their peace
The strong ones have never fallen in with tide
Just as long as you stay right beside me
I promise everything will be alright
So, don't worry about waiting up tonight okay?
It looks like I'll be working till the dawn here
I wouldn't want to wake you anyhow babe
So, I'll see you in the morning
