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
Mmm
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
And 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, ha...
Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me always
Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me, stay close me all day
Mm-mm-mmm, mm-mmm
Hey yes
Uh, uh... mm-mmm
Hey
Stay close to me, stay close to me all day
Stay close to me all day
TrackTalk
I think that was Rick (Rubin)'s point of view
- to make the drum track quite hard on that tune and take it away from
the straight country thing. We went a bit harder than we might have done
in the '70s.
