Like a picture you came into my life

Like a picture, the colours fade away

Love is fragile, you hide it from the light

It lasts forever and always stays the same



Like a movie you swept into my life

And like a movie, the stars just fade away



Hang on to me tonight

Stay close to me all day

Hang on to me tonight

Stay close to me all day



Ah, honey, while there's youth upon your face

Ah, honey, are you tiring of the race

My cards are on the table

You can get up and walk away or stay



Like a movie, you came into my life

Like a movie, the stars just fade away

All the characters are mouthing out their lines

And the love scenes are shot in shades of grey



Hang on to me tonight

Stay close to me all day

Hang on to me tonight

Stay close to me all day



Ah, baby, while there's youth upon your face

Ah, baby, don't you lose that natural grace

My cards are on the table

You can get up and walk away or stay



Hang on to me tonight

Stay close to me always

Hang on to me tonight

Stay close to me all day
