The song "Hold me" could reveal the exact profile of "Hold me" album, and it's destiny on charts too; because despite good songs like "When I'm with you", "Maybe Tonight", "Forever Young" and "Spanish Eddie", Hold me (1985) never got the sales of them previous albums. You can find here all the genuine emotion of Laura Branigan, but commercially is like a devalued piece of art.
(1985)

Hold Me

Kinda young, very pretty,
living alone, full of fear
Feeling lost, so unhappy,
waiting for luck to appear
Meet a man, sit together,
talk about dreams, a career
Feeling good, getting closer,
putting her lips to his ear

CHORUS:
She whispers hold me,
baby please hold me
Make all those bad dreams disappear
She whispers hold me, baby please hold me
I can stay for just a minute,
help me drive away my fear

Shattered dreams, her ambitions
slip from her mind, drift away
So secure, living his life,
pushing the world, faraway

She whispers hold me
... (REPEAT CHORUS X2 )

Maybe Tonight

Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow
It's just a matter of time
Until you're runnin' back in my arms again
Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow
I'll hear you knock on my door
And it will be just like before you were gone

Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow
I won't be thinking of you
And you will be wondering what to do all alone
One more night I won't miss you
One more day I'll be alright
A few more hours to watch the rain fall
I don't miss you at all

Maybe tonight, oh maybe tomorrow
It's just a matter of time
Until you're runnin' back in my arms again
I can do what I want
Don't need nobody to comfort me
I sleep okay at night
Don't need your body right next to me,
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow
I'll hear you knock on my door
And it will be just like before you where gone
Oh maybe tonight, and then maybe tomorrow
I won't be thinking of you
And will be wondering what to do all alone

I can do what I want
Don't need nobody to comfort me
I sleep okay at night
Don't need nobody right next to me,
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Maybe tonight, (One more night I won't miss you) and maybe tomorrow (One more day I'll be alright) It's just a matter of time,
(One more night I won't miss you)
Until you're runnin' back in my arms again
(One more day)
Oh, oh, oh, oh (I'll be alright)
Maybe tonight, (One more night I won't miss you) oh maybe tomorrow (One more day I'll be alright) I'll hear you knock on my door
(One more night I won't miss you)
And it will be just like before you where gone
(One more day) Oh (I'll be alright)
maybe tonight, (One more night I won't miss you) oh maybe tomorrow (One more day I'll be alright)
I won't be thinking of you..... ( fade )

Foolish Lullaby

You always run to me
Whenever she leaves you
We trade for lust, the fear
But nothing can free you
Too many poison arrows hit
the heart you've try to hide
Can't you say goodbye
To this foolish lullaby

Still you talk as if
She didn't hurt you
But I see what she did
And you see the virtue
You refuse to hear the words
That lay behind your eyes
Can't you say goodbye
To this foolish lullaby

CHORUS:
If you are so sure that she is the one
Why are you laying here with me?
Did it ever cross your mind at all
Of how this feels to me
I'll never know just what you see in her
I don't even want to try
I guess the both of us Sing a foolish lullaby

So we'll wear the goodbye look
collecting excuses
For all the time it took
To hide the abuses
The thorns around the roses left
Their marks below our eyes
Can't we say goodbye
To this foolish lullaby

(REPEAT CHORUS to Fade)

Spanish Eddie

There was heat in the air
And cops everywhere you looked
So there wasn't a lot
And so the breaks that you got
You know you took
And I remember wonderin'
Where you'd been
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in

CHORUS:
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
They were playin' "Desolation Row"
On the radio
The night Spanish Eddie fell from grace
There was amazement on his face
On the night that Eddie fell
Sanity prevailed

It was June or July
When the heat from above beat down
It was famine or drought
When the brothers went out
of style uptown
And he was mixin' Vicks
with lemon gin
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in

The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
They were playin "Desolation Row"
On the radio
The night Spanish Eddie made front page
His revolution came of age
He wrote "Surrender" on the wall
The night he took the fall

I heard someone say "He's tryin' to fly"
Like Eddie used to say
we'll do and we die

I heard someone turned you for a spin
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in

The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
They were playin' "Desolation Row"
On the radio
The night Spanish Eddie fell from grace
There was amazement on his face
On the night that Eddie fell
Sanity prevailed
(REPEAT CHORUS X 4 to fade)

Forever Young

Let's dance in style, Let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait, We're only watching the skies Hoping for the best But expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power
But we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit,
Life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men

Can you imagine when this race is won?
As we turn our faces into the sun
Praising our leaders, We're getting in tune
The music's played by the madmen

Forever young,
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever and ever
Forever young,
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
forever, Forever Young

Some are like water, Some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later, they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?

It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading rose
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever

So many adventures
couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams
swinging out of the blue
We'll let them come true

Forever young,
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
forever and ever
Forever young,
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
forever, Forever

Guitar Solo

Forever young,
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
forever and ever
Forever young,
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
forever and ever
Forever young,
ever in heaven
Do you really want to live forever
forever and ever
Forever young,
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
forever and ever
Forever young... ( fade )

When I'm With You

I got this tension down to my bones
Feel it come whenever you are near
A new dimension I can't control
I don't know what's happening here
Cos one night with you
And my heart just shatters
One night with you
And now you're all that matters

I'm getting circles around my eyes
Half a way half of the time
This isn't like me, to be insecure,
But I've never had my heart on the line
One night with you
And all my courage crumbles
One night with you
Has made a strong girl stumble

When I'm with you, when I'm with you
And you do what you do the way you do
I feel just like a baby,
Maybe I should be going, knowing
When I'm with you, When I'm with you
That's all I want to do, is what you do
And have you here to touch me,
touch you You don't know how much I want to, When I'm with you

Don't know if you wan't it, just like I want it
You keep me quessing most of the time
But I got to have it, just like we had it
It's the only thing on my mind
Cos one night with you
And all my courage crumbles
One night with you
Has made a strong girl stumble

When I'm with you, When I'm with you
And you do what you do, the way you do,
I feel just like a baby,
Maybe I should be going, knowing
When I'm with you, When I'm with you
That's all I want to do, is what you do
And have you here to touch me,
touch you You don't know how much I want to, When I'm with you

When I'm with you,
When I'm with you (Down, down in my bones)
And you do what you do,
the way you do, (I feel, I'm not in control)
I feel just like a baby,
Maybe I should be going, knowing
When I'm with you,
When I'm with you (Down, down in my bones) That's all I want to do,
is what you do (I feel, I'm not in control)
And have you here to touch me,
touch you You don't know how much I want to
When I'm with you,
When I'm with you (Down, down in my bones)
And you do what you do,
the way you do, (I feel, That I canīt control)
I feel just like a baby ... ( fade )

I Found Someone

Don't you know
So many things they come and go
Like your words that once rang true
Just like the love I thought I found in you

And I remember the thunder
Talkin' 'bout that fire in your eyes
But you walked away
when I needed you most
And, maybe baby, maybe baby

I found someone
To take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been feelin' since you've been gone
Since you've been gone

Dry your eyes
I never could bear to see you cry
Some day your love will shine through
And show you the feeling
that you never really knew

But don't you lose that thunder
Talkin' 'bout that fire in your eyes
You're lookin' at me,
but you still don't believe
That maybe baby, maybe baby

I found someone
To take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been livin' with since you've been gone
Since you've been gone

Guitar Solo

Too long on the border line
Wonderin' if your love was really mine
But you left me with open eyes
And now I realized, baby

I found someone
To take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been feelin' since you've been gone
Baby I found someone
To take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been living with Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone

Sanctuary

Do you think you can find ?
In other arms the peace of mind
If you do you are so mistaken
Cause they are only taking love

You'd think pain was back in style
The way you force yourself to smile
But I know your heart is breaking
When we should be making love

If your loves been more like a revolving door
And you are feeling tired and weary
You'll find the love that you've been searching for Here in my heart find

Sanctuary, oh oh oh
Sanctuary, oh oh oh,
Here in my Heart

I feel your pain, your despair
Sometimes is more than I can bear
Just to know your heart is breaking
When it we would making love

If your loves been more like a revolving door
And you are feeling tired and weary
You'll find the love that you've been searching for Here in my heart of mine

Sanctuary, oh oh oh
Sanctuary, oh oh oh,
Here in my heart
Sanctuary, oh oh oh
Sanctuary, oh oh oh,
here in my heart

Guitar Solo

Sanctuary, oh oh oh
Sanctuary, oh oh oh,
here in my heart
... (REPEAT to FADE)

Tenderness

I don't know who to turn to
Looks don't look like they used to
Everything that I try,
turns from good to goodbye
I don't know who to turn to

My heart longs for another
One on one with each other
Deep down inside of me
It's so, so easy to see

I want a little tenderness,
I need a little honesty
Looking for a open heart,
to open his arms to me
I wanna fall in love again,
To find the love I never known
I need a little tenderness,
of my own

I've had just to much of
abusers using up my love
Deep down inside of me
It's so, so easy to see

I want a little tenderness,
I need a little honesty
Looking for a open heart,
to open his arms to me
I wanna fall in love again,
To find the love I've never known
I need a little tenderness,
of my own

(Repeat x2 to fade)

When The Heat Hits The Streets

You don't know if you're awake or dreaming
The sky is still and the city is screaming
You don't hear a sound
but there is something in the air
You don't know where you are going to be going Your body is tired but the night keeps calling Pushing you further and taking you higher
Turning your smoke into fire


When the heat hits the streets
It's going to rock you off your feet

Oh, the pavements moving to the beat
When the heat hits the streets
You can loose yourself in the neon lights
And your heartbeat echoes the sound of the night
If you have no name and you have it all
If you loose yourself you can find your soul
in the night When the heat hits the streets

You're alone and your thoughts are wasting
Was it real or a dream you're chasing
You had it all but you let it slip away
Searching the streets and the music's playing Somebody is calling but you're still waiting
You're going further and you're going you higher Turning your smoke into fire

When the heat hits the streets
It's going to rock you off your feet

Oh, the pavements moving to the beat
When the heat hits the streets
You can loose yourself in the neon lights
And your heartbeat echoes the sound of the night
If you have no name and you have it all
If you loose yourself you can find your soul
in the night When the heat hits the streets


And you're racing with the wind
Moving so fast not even time to hide
You're not coming back again,
Going some place Where no one has ever been

When the heat hits the streets
It's going to rock you off your feet
Oh, the pavements' moving to them beat
When the heat hits the streets
When the heat hits the streets
It's going to rock you off your feet

Oh, the pavements moving to the beat
When the heat hits the streets
When the heat hits the streets
It's going to rock you off your feet
Oh, the pavements' moving to them beat
When the heat hits the streets
When the heat hits the streets
