In Heaven's name why are you walking away?
Hang on to your love
In Heaven's name why do you play these games?
Hang on to your love

Take time if you're down on luck
It's so easy to walk out on love
Take your time if the going gets tough
It's so precious

So if you want it to get stronger you'd better not let go
You've got to hold on longer if you want your love to grow
Got to stick together, hand in glove
Hold on tight, don't fight
Hang on to your love

In Heaven's name why are you walking away?
Hang on to your love
In Heaven's name why do you play these games?
Hang on to your love

Be brave when the journey is rough
It's not easy when you're in love
Don't be ashamed when the going gets tough
It's not easy
Don't give up

If want it to get stronger you'd better not let go
You got to hold on longer if you want your love to grow
Got to stick together, hand in glove
Hold on tight, don't fight
Hang on to your love

In Heaven's name why are you walking away?
Hang on to your love
In Heaven's name why do you play these games?
Hang on to your love

So if want it to get stronger you'd better not let go
You got to hold on longer if you want your love to grow
Got to stick together, hand in glove
Hold on tight, don't fight
Hang on to your love

In Heaven's name why are you walking away?
Hang on to your love
In Heaven's name why do you play these games?
Hang on to your love

When you find a love (hang on to your love)
Don't let it walk away (hang on)
When you find your love (hang on to your love)
You got to make it stay (hang on)

You've got to hang on to your love (your love)
You've got to hang on to your love (your love)
Why are you walking away? (Hang on)
Why do you play these games? (Hang on)

    This song is great and very motivational in a positive way that you are a team and to experience love fully with someone means sticking together through the tough times too.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
