These long nights as winter comes down
  There's fog at the door, you're not around
  There's silence, ooh, day after day
  The thought of it all slipping away
  
  All my wildest dreams, if they had come true
  I'd give them all to you
  Ooh, now the darkest nights gather at my side
  I'm still confused
  
  So I said is it always the same, can you tell from the start?
  Is there always this pain when you're breaking apart?
  She said, can you hold back your love till you're certain it's right
  Can you hold back your love for that one special night?
  
  Hold back your love
  Hold back your love

  Hold back your love (hold back your love)
  Hold back your love (baby, baby, don't rush me)
  Hold back your love (listen to me)
  (You know I've told you once before) hold back your love (ooh)
