[Verse 1]
You can dance if you like
You can sing every line of every song
No, you don't have to steal the show
It was your show all along
As the orchestra plays
The people take the seats
There's no room left in this house
It's only you and me
And if life is your stage
I'll be watching

[Chorus]
Hold up a light for me
Hold up a light for me
Hold up a light for me
Hold up a light for me, oh
I'll be watching

Hold up a light for me
Hold up a light for me
Hold up a light for me
Hold up a light for me, oh
And I'll be watching you

[Verse 2]
Everything that you do
As we start rehearsing every scene
The words to everything
We realize that the crowd is listening
And then the tears fall down on your face
At exactly the right place
As the people start to stand up in the aisle
You can hear the sound of violins
On every street tonight
You can see all lovers dancing 'round
I'll be watching

[Chorus]
Hold up a light for me
Hold up a light for me
Hold up a light for me
Hold up a light for me, oh
And I'll be watching

Hold up a light for me
Hold up a light for me
Hold up a light for me
Hold up a light for me, oh
And I'll be watching you

[Bridge]
All things you see
End up where they should be
All things you see
End up where they should

[Chorus]
Hold up a light for me, hold up a light
Hold up a light for me, hold up a light
Hold up a light for me, hold up a light
Hold up a light for me, hold up a light for me

Hold up a light for me, hold up a light
Hold up a light for me, hold up a light
Cause I'm loving you
And I'm loving this, oh

Hold up a light for me, hold up a light
Hold up a light for me, hold up a light
A light for me
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you

One of Britain’s most successful boy bands, Take That are an English pop group from Manchester, formed in 1990. The group currently consists of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, and Mark Owen. The original line-up also featured Jason Orange and Robbie Williams.

Back in the 90s, they achieved unparalleled success, recording three albums which topped the UK Everything Changes and Nobody Else and Greatest Hits. Some of their biggest hits from then include “Back for Good”, “Pray”, “Everything Changes”, “A Million Love Songs” as well as covers of “Relight My Fire” by Dan Hartman and “It Only Takes a Minute” by Tavares.

Their popularity was unsurpassed in Britain. But tensions started growing and Robbie Williams left the band in 1995. The group disbanded the following year after the four remaining members completed their world tour.
