Hold me tighter and tighter through the night
When you kiss me honey I tremble like a child

And I feel so right since you said you loved me

But the moonlight just a beacon shining through
And the night was a ? ? ? shades of blue

And I feel so right since you said you loved me

Hold me tighter and tighter through the night
When you kiss honey I tremble like a child

And I feel so right since you said you loved me

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers – an L.A.-based gang of sharp-dressed garage-rock refugees from Gainsville, Florida – released their debut LP in November 1976, featuring two tracks which are now part of their long list of hits, “Breakdown” and “American Girl.”

Since that first LP in ‘76, the band’s style has epitomized and largely defined the American “heartland rock” movement – a vintage-guitar twang, hard lyric truth, and searing vocal attitude.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers have been nominated for 17 Grammy awards and sold more than 80 million records worldwide, making them one of the world’s best-selling bands of all-time.
