Bamboo and Beat

[Verse 1]
I keep your scarf by the door
Even when I’m not alone
Tea goes cold in the cup
Your name stays on my phone

The rain taps hard on the tin roof
Like a hand I used to know
I walk slow through the market
Where the betel stains still show

[Pre-Chorus]
မင်းနဲ့နီးချင်တယ်
Even from far away
I count the miles in my chest
And I still feel you stay

[Chorus]
Hold me close tonight
Hold me close tonight
ေဝးလည်း မပျောက်ဘူး
Hold me close tonight

Hold me close tonight
Hold me close tonight
If the road gets long
Hold me close tonight

[Verse 2]
You left with the dawn light
I stayed with the same sky
My brother said, “Move on now”
But I just laughed and passed by

I saw your old flip-flops
By the stall near Sule road
Dust on the rubber edges
Still carrying our load

[Pre-Chorus]
မင်းနဲ့နီးချင်တယ်
Even from far away
I count the miles in my chest
And I still feel you stay

[Chorus]
Hold me close tonight
Hold me close tonight
ေဝးလည်း မပျောက်ဘူး
Hold me close tonight

Hold me close tonight
Hold me close tonight
If the road gets long
Hold me close tonight

[Bridge]
I don’t need perfect
Just your voice on the line
A small “I’m here”
At the right time

တစ်နေ့တော့
We’ll laugh at the rain
Till the whole old ache
Turns soft again

[Final Chorus]
Hold me close tonight
Hold me close tonight
ေဝးလည်း မပျောက်ဘူး
Hold me close tonight

Hold me close tonight
Hold me close tonight
If the road gets long
Hold me close tonight

Hold me close tonight
Hold me close tonight
I can wait if you
Hold me close tonight
