"Hold
Me 'Til the Morning Comes" is a song by Paul Anka, featuring backing
vocals by former Chicago singer Peter Cetera. It was co-written by Anka with David
Foster. It was the first release and only hit from his LP, Walk a Fine Line.
The song describes a man who is in a relationship that's
dying, yet both are afraid to walk away from it. He struggles with ambivalent
feelings, however, still longs to hold on to the love they have shared.
The song
scratched the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking only at number 40. It spent four months on the
chart, longer than almost all of Anka's other hits, including some of his
highest-charting songs. This was his last (and final Top 40 hit) of 53 charting
pop singles in the US to date. The song also spent three weeks
at number two on the US Adult Contemporary chart. It was blocked from the
number-one spot first by DeBarge's "All This Love" and then by Rita
Coolidge's "All Time High".
In
Canada, the song failed to enter the pop singles chart, however, reached number
one on the Adult Contemporary chart in August 1983.
"Hold
Me 'Til the Morning Comes" was included on Anka's collaborative LP, A Body
of Work.

Two broken hearts
Neither one knows what to say
Both falling from love
But not quite all the way
Look at us now
Reachin' back for yesterday
Wanting to know
If the other wants to stay
After all
I'm the one who said we're through
Now I can't live without you, anymore
Out there lost
Is a dream that can come true
Is it worth the reachin' for?
Don't you need me anymore?
Darlin'
Hold me till the mornin' comes
Until I see you smile
Take all the sadness from your eyes
Hold me till the mornin' sun
Let me stay we've just begun
Ooh, stay with you
Where shall we start?
A tender word that we can share
And if we believe
In time we will get there
Look at us now
Wanting more than words can say
Both falling in love
But this time all the way
Out there lost
Are the words: I still love you
Are they worth the reachin' for?
Do you love me anymore?
Darlin'
Hold me till the mornin' comes
Until I see you smile
Take all the sadness from your eyes (no more)
Hold me till the mornin' sun
Let me stay, we've just begun
I want to stay with you
Hold me till the mornin' comes
Until I see you smile
Take all the sadness from your eyes (no more, no)
Hold me till the mornin' sun
Let me stay, we've just begun
I want to stay with you
Would you love me in the mornin'? (Would you love me?)
Will you still be there in the mornin'? (Would you
love me?)
Or would you leave without a warnin'?
Say you love me too (say you stay)
Would you love me in the mornin'? (Would you love me?)
Will you still be there in the mornin'? (Would you
love me?)
Or would you leave without a warnin'? (Don't go away)
Say you love me too.
