Later that evening, only a feeling
But it was there in the air that we share in the twilight
Humming a sad song, where was our day gone
But in the dark was a spark a remark I remember
“Try again” she replied to some story I told
“Try again” yes I will if I can
All I need is somebody to hold

Learning a feeling, seeking a meaning
Finding a way should she stay how to say let’s imagine
Maybe I’ll go wrong, it may not last long
But in the night ?how? delight most be right for this moment
“Try again” she replied to some story I told
“Try again” yes I will if I can
All I need is somebody to hold

“Try again” she replied to some story I told
“Try again” yes I will if I can
All I need is somebody to hold

“Try again” she replied to some story I told
“Try again” yes I will if I can
All I need is somebody to hold
