The Web Poetry Corner - Norma Jean Duncan - I Need to Hold You Tight Tonight

I Need to Hold You Tight Tonight

by

Norma Jean Duncan

I miss you tonight, as I listen to a country song
I need to hold you tight, tho I guess it is wrong.
You can't by my own and share my life
I can't marry you, I have a sick wife.

I can't leave her and not come back
It would kill her to see me pack.
I'll be with you every minute I can spare
And dream of you when I'm not there.

You're all that's worth living for
You know I don't love her any more.
Darling please trust me now,
We will work this out somehow.

I need to hold you tight
I'm lonely here at home tonight
I'm with my wife, but feel alone
I'm thinking of you, wondering where you've gone

I can't leave her alone here to think
About the car accident when I had to much to drink
It made her become a cripple the rest of her life
So for the rest of my life she is my wife.

I have to stay here, darling please understand
If I left I wouldn't be much of a man
I hate to stay here and I can't stay away
I think of you both night and day.
