Adams, Oleta - Hold Me For A While Lyrics






Listless days of feeling insecure
Makes it even harder to endure
There's a way that you can make me smile
Only if you'll hold me for a while

Lots of speeches leave us limp and week
Darling there's no need for us to speak
You can stop my heart from running wild
Only if you'll hold me for a while

Hold me, fold me in your arms
Baby, be my refuge and keep me from the storm
Will you enclose me, keep the villain out
Darling isn't that's what you and I are all about

There is always time for making love
Darling, that's not what I'm in need of
Help me rest as peaceful as a child
I will if you'll hold me for a while
...

    Oleta has a peace and love in her voice and the words of the the song are outstanding,
    A great song to hold for a while. Good to go ms adams. Peace Bro.G

  6. E.... B....

    I fell in love with this romantic song the very first time i heard it .if my memory serves me right 15 years ago!. Almost came into tears upon hearing this song again today!..16th day of december 2018!..how i wish i could see you perform live here in my country phillipines...what a voice..so relaxing..i love you ms. Oleta Adams

  7. s.... c....

    So soulful and beautiful....

  9. V.... B....

    Looking forward to seeing you May 11, 2018 at the SOPAC, in New Jersey Ms. Adams!!//....  You never disappoint Ms. Adams...saw you and enjoyed your sold out show, even sat two seats from your friend Ms. Dionne Warwick.

  10. D.... S....

    ok ok ok...I think playing this another 12 times after I have played it 12 times in a row already is way too much, just way too much.....oh snap, there I go....news at 11.

  11. D.... M....

    We were priveldge to experience Ms Adams twice in Boston at Scullers. Both memorable evenings.

  12. L.... .....

    Canta muito show

  13. v.... ....

    I love this song...it is so simple, so pure, and so powerful all at the same time.  (At the end of the day, that's all any of us want...to be held for a while...that's all...BIG sigh)Peace friend.

  14. J.... K....

    It is a rare treat to have a lovely singer with a song you can relax to and maybe even feel a little romantic. That is rare in the music industry today. I will be buying her record and maybe relax with the wife again. Yes I do enjoy rock from time to time but music should appeal to all our moods and not just exploit us with one kind of genre holding music in a straight jacket.

  15. G.... A....

    From her very first hit GET HERE to HOLD ME FOR A WHILE It is such a rare treat to hear singers who properly enunciate each word so clearly. That is truly a gift that all artist should take notice. THANK YOU MISS ADAMS

    G.... A....

    Yes you're so right Glinda. It gives thier sound so much polish. But it seems it may be a dying art

    G.... A....

    Yes you're so right Glinda. It gives thier sound so much polish. But it seems it may be a dying art

    Great observation. Clear enunciation was one of the trademarks of the great Ella Fitzgerald. That comes with formal voice lessons, though, and so many performers are not interested in polishing their talents.

  16. J.... D....

    I heard this song for the first time years ago, and knew it was Oleta, but didn't pick up on its title ... thanks for posting this...

    J.... D....

    you're welcome, JR!

  17. Z.... W....

    I'll HOLE you for awhile ^-^  Just come over when my wife's gone.

  18. A.... M....

    Tears for Fears "discovered" Oleta Adams performing solo, singing and playing piano, in a Holiday Inn in Kanas. At that point in the music business the days of guys like Clive Davis scouting out real talent was starting to end.

    If TFF hadn't come across Oleta we probably never would have heard of her. Just think of how many more highly talented singer-songwriters are out there and are being passed over for lesser performers.

  19. A.... R....

    What a beautiful song! Oleta can do no wrong as far as I am concerned.  What a blessed woman.  By God Himself.  Heavenly!

  20. e.... ....

    Oleta Adams had done a couple of CDs and a bit of touring but nothing "big". While on tour, the members of "Tears for Fears" walked into a hotel lounge in Kansas City where Oleta was performing and were taken by her talent, beauty and grace. She was asked to perform on Tears for Fears "Seeds of Love" album. That catapulted her to the "big stage". Do yourselves a favor and check out that album. Thank you Tears for Fears for helping to bring such a TALENT to our hearts!!

    AC

  39. a.... ....

    Beautiful! This song is uploaded more than two years ago, and it hasn't even got 5,000 views yet? Also Oleta Adams' other songs are listened by few (on Youtube at least). She's really one of the most underrated great singers.

  40. c.... ....

    @NoBoTo01 ...Baby, be my refuge and keep me from the storm
    Will you enclose me � keep the villain out
    Darling (isn't) that's what you and I are all about
    ...thank you for stopping by..

  41. N.... ....

    There's a way that you can make me smile
