[Intro]

[Verse 1]
The clock on the wall is ticking too loud
A thief in the night, stealing time from the crowd
The world outside is a cold, rushing stream
But here in the quiet, we’re living a dream
Your heartbeat is steady, a rhythm I know
A fortress against all the winds that will blow

[Pre-Chorus]
I see the morning light creep on the floor
But I’m not ready to walk out that door
So close the curtains, let’s hide from the day
There’s only one thing I need to say

[Chorus]
Don’t let me go, not just yet
Let’s linger in moments we won't forget
Keep me wrapped in the warmth of your arms
Shielded away from the world and its harms
I need the scent of your cologne in the air
The touch of your hand running through my hair
Just hold me tighter, make the shadows retreat
Safe in your shelter, my heart skips a beat
Don’t let me go
(Please don't let go)

[Bridge]

[Verse 2]
Your mighty frame is the castle I keep
Watching over me while I’m asleep
The strength in your shoulders, the calm in your breath
A love that protects me from sorrow and death
I’m fragile today, like glass in the rain
But you are the anchor that steadies the pain

[Pre-Chorus]
I see the morning light creep on the floor
But I’m not ready to walk out that door
So close the curtains, let’s hide from the day
There’s only one thing I need to say

[Chorus]
Don’t let me go, not just yet
Let’s linger in moments we won't forget
Keep me wrapped in the warmth of your arms
Shielded away from the world and its harms
I need the scent of your cologne in the air
The touch of your hand running through my hair
Just hold me tighter, make the shadows retreat
Safe in your shelter, my heart skips a beat
Don’t let me go
(Please don't let go)

[Bridge]
The world is too heavy, the city too wide
I need a place where my spirit can hide
Five more minutes, or maybe an hour
Give me your stillness, give me your power
Just stay right here
Keep me near

[Chorus]
Don’t let me go, not just yet
Let’s linger in moments we won't forget
Keep me wrapped in the warmth of your arms
Shielded away from the world and its harms
I need the scent of your cologne in the air
The touch of your hand running through my hair
Just hold me tighter, make the shadows retreat
Safe in your shelter, my heart skips a beat
Don’t let me go
(Please don't let go)

Don’t let me go, not just yet
Let’s linger in moments we won't forget
Keep me wrapped in the warmth of your arms
Shielded away from the world and its harms
I need the scent of your cologne in the air
The touch of your hand running through my hair
Just hold me tighter, make the shadows retreat
Safe in your shelter, my heart skips a beat
Don’t let me go
(Please don't let go)

[Outro]
Feel the warmth of your hands once again
A healing balm for the worry and strain
Protected and safe, where I belong
Right here with you is where I am strong
Don’t let me go
(Please don't let go)
Just hold me close
Don’t let me go
