Hold Me Now by Renee Olstead

[Daddieo]

e Now" Ringtone to your Cell 

"Hold Me Now"

How strange it feels to miss you
Standing right before you
Yet good times seem so far and few

I've begun pretending
Not to see an ending
But it's all coming in the view

So, hold me now, hold me fast
Pretend it's not gonna be the last time that we love
Hold me like we'll love forever

Hold me now
I can't believe we're making our last memories
It's not enough
Hold me like we'll love forever

It seems that you've grown tired
Of the one you once desired
But I've not wanted none but you

Oh, do you think you could find a way
To love me again someday?
There's nothing else that I can do

So, hold me now, hold me fast
Pretend it's not gonna be the last time that we love
Hold me like we'll love forever

Hold me now
I can't believe we're making our last memories
It's not enough
Hold me like we'll love forever

And now it seems
All that's left to dreams for arms to hold
I'm holding on but the love's already gone
So hold me now

Oh, so hold me now, hold me fast
Pretend that it's not gonna be the last time that we love
Hold me like we'll love forever

Hold me now
I can't believe we're making our last memories
It's not enough
Hold me like we'll love forever

Just hold me now
Hold me now
Just hold me

I've been listening to this magnificent voice for...well, since Renee was 14 years old.  This particular song was recorded when she was 18...she is now in her early 20's (22, I think.)

Even after , now three CD's, this time, I am still amazed that someone so young can reach inside me and others with an emotion, a soul...in her voice that belies her age, surely, she cannot have endured the heartache and pain and love and loss of which she sings so profoundly.  So beautifully.

I had to share, I hope some of you might actually give a listen, and enjoy.

Renee Olstead is a classic...singing classics.
