Michael Prather songs
This is one I've had in my PLR for a while. I am thinking of having a Pro Demo done of it. I decided to dust it off a bit and put it up here for comments.
Thanks,
Mike
Please Hold Me Down
He said honey I've got some great news
about a dream that finally came true
The record company liked my songs
and they asked for me to sign on
It's the break that I've been waiting for
for oh so long
Well the look in her eyes
was not what he hoped for
As with a tremble in her voice
she looked up at him and said
I'm just a simple girl
I like the simple things
like being barefoot on the grass
and the comfort that it brings
And the lazy afternoons
just before the winter breaks
Where you're going
oh I just couldn't go that far
I wouldn't want to hold you down
while you're reaching for the stars
Well he thought about
the things she had to say
And how his love for her
just couldn't be put away
As he looked into her eyes
and saw how much she cared
he smiled and said to her these words
I'm just a simple man
I like the simple things
Like the rain on a tin roof
and the music that it brings
A storm in late July
that brings the rainbows to the sky
And while I'm reaching for the stars
I'll need someone to keep my feet
firm on the ground
There's no one else I'd rather have
to hold me
so baby please hold me down
And as the doubt in her eyes
began to fade away
she thought about the things
he had to say
Then she new his love for her
was strong enough to hold
Through any thing that life
could bring their way
She said I'll hold you
whenever you feel small
I'll bring a smile to your heart
if you should ever fall
and if you ever feel that
this life you chose
is taking you too far,
and lifting you too high
Just come to me
and I'll gladly hold you down
I'll gladly hold you down
