[Verse]
Hold me darling hold me
And I'll always be your, be your guy
Closer, baby come closer
Let me be the one that loves and be by your side

[Chorus]
Why should you be lonely when I need you so
Give my arms a chance I know I'll never let go
So hold me, baby hold me
Say you'll never let me go
Why should you be lonely when I need you so
Give my arms a chance I know I'll never let go
So hold me, baby hold me
Say you'll never let me go

[Outro]
You know I love you so
I'll never-never let you go
I'll never-never let you go
Oh baby-baby, hold me
Why should we be apart
I'll never-never let you go

Stevie Wonder

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
