Dream, and don’t be afraid the dream’s not real

13 March 2006


Isn’t nostalgia fucking great?

I can remember, way back in 1987 when I was 8, coming home from school on the bus, singing Hold Me Now. Belting it out, like it was the best song ever.

And so, inspired by the comments to that little fic I bring to you Hol Me Now, in wma format. Enjoy ;)

And in case you want to sing along, I give you lyrics:

Don’t… don’t close your heart to how you feel
Dream, and don’t be afraid the dream’s not real
Close your eyes, pretend it’s just the two of us again
Make believe this moment’s here to stay
Touch… touch me the way you used to do
I know tonight could be all I’ll have with you
From now on, you’ll be with someone else instead of me
So tonight, let’s fill this memory
For the last time –

Hold me now
Don’t cry, don’t say a word
Just hold me now
And I will know –
Though we’re apart, we’ll always be together
Forever in love
What do you say when words are not enough?

Time… time will be kind once we’re apart
And your tears… tears will have no place in your heart
I wish I… I could say how much I’ll miss you when you’re gone
How my love for you will go on and on and

Hold me now
Don’t cry, don’t say a word
Just hold me now
And try to understand that
I hope at last you’ve found
What you’ve been searchin’ for
And though I won’t be there anymore
I will always love you

(Hold me now)
(Don’t cry,) don’t say a word
Just hold me now
And I will know –
Though we’re apart, we’ll always be together
Forever in love
What do you say when words are not enough?

What can I say?
Now my words are not enough

    YEAH! This is fantastic! This is the best file I've added to WMP in ages. Sigh.

    You're about to hate me.
    When I saw the picture, I thought "oh, how bizarre, he looks like David Boreanaz."

  3. Fence says:

    NM, you are making me very worried ;)

    Anne, another person to worry me. Are you going blind? Maybe it is the outfit though. Does he look like David Boreanaz here?

    Johnny Logan was one of the best things about the Eurovision Song Contest. The other thing was ABBA… :)

  5. NineMoons says:

    That pic is Johnny's gayest pose EVER.

    Wish the file you put up had him singing it after he won the Eurovision. You know, where he kind of broke down at the end, saying he couldn't sing any more or something. Sigh again.

  6. I always kinda liked the Thompson Twins song of the same name…..

    And by the by, haven't commented on your story yet for a very good reason, one which will be revealed soon…..

  7. anne says:

    No, no resemblance on that other pic.

  8. Fence says:

    Weenie, could you imagine, Johnny Logan and ABBA, on tour together! Sell-out or what?

    NM, there is a website with a clip, but I didn't watch it. I'm sure if you search for Johnny Logan and Hold Me Now you'd find it….

    FM, are you keeping us in suspence?

    Anne, look your comment has shown up :)

    I feel old…I graduated from high school in 1987!

    Well Carl, at least you can still learn new things, according to your other comment :)
