Lucia Comnes feat. Jefferson Hamer - I Wish That You'd Be Holding Me Tonight

from Have We Met Before? by Lucia Comnes

/

about

Harmony vocals duet, lazy, laid back groove, choir vocals and keys in the bridge; a tender lullaby with John Prine style simplicity in the lyrics - an innocent expression of the desire to be in company and arms of a loved one who is no longer present. A theme in many of Lucia’s lyrics is one of being held, which resurfaces in this song. It’s a comforting and delicate piece for the softer side of life with a melody so familiar it seems to be one you have heard before. A real gem for vocals, this track features the second duet by Jefferson and Lucia on the album, this time sung in harmony, with an ethereal choir of voices in the bridge featuring the voice of English opera singer, Olympia Hetherington.

lyrics

I Wish That You'd Be Holding Me Tonight

When the day is done and all the stars are bright
And I listen to the people passing by
Of all the things that comfort me
My favorite is a memory
And I wonder where you are tonight

When the water’s edge has found its way to me
And I’m walking in the sand facing the sea
It’s like I’m living in a dream
If only you could hear and see
With you this would be my paradise

Ooh ooh ooh…

Would it be too much to ask for life with love?
I’ve got more to give than Heaven does
Alone is seldom lonely
But together we’d be free
And I wish that you’d be holding me tonight
And I wish that you’d be holding me tonight
And I wish that you’d be holding me tonight
