If I Could Hold You Here Tonight
(Lynman Bacolor and Dennis Lalata)

I
I gaze at your picture this Christmas eve
Its the only hope I can hold on to in this wars reprieve
Its the only way I can touch your face and kiss your lips
Its the only time I can steal a moment of bliss

II
I see the darkness embrace this land
I cant bear to hear the silence creep through this barren camp
Its the calm before the perfect storm that waits as I pray
And life will never be the same after this fateful day

Chorus:
If I could hold you here tonight and maybe make things right
If I could turn the coming tide, tomorrow would be mine
If I could hold you here tonight

III
I try to dream of better days
When guns have ceased then laid to rest plowshares in their place
Where the fields are green and the sun shines through your long dark hair
And no Christmas gift would compare to the life that we could share

Chorus:
If I could hold you here tonight and maybe make things right
If I could turn the coming tide, tomorrow would be mine
If I could hold you here tonight

Bridge:
I only wish that this same night next year
Id be with you, Id be with you back home

Chorus:
If I could hold you here tonight and maybe make things right
If I could turn the coming tide, tomorrow would be mine
If I could hold you here tonighttonight
