"Hang on to Me Tonight", sebuah lagu yang dinyanyikan oleh Mick Jagger, memikat pendengar dengan liriknya yang puitis dan menyayat hati. Bait pembukanya mengibaratkan cinta layaknya sebuah lukisan yang indah, awalnya cemerlang namun kemudian memudar seiring waktu. Lirik tersebut menyiratkan sifat rapuh cinta, yang harus dilindungi dari paparan dunia luar agar tetap abadi. Tema fana kehidupan dan perlunya menghargai kecantikan sementara terus bergema sepanjang lagu, memohon pendengar untuk berpegangan erat pada momen-momen berharga yang berlalu dengan cepat.
Hang on to Me Tonight Lyrics
Mick Jagger
Like a picture you came into my life
Like a picture the colours fade away
Love is fragile, you hide it from the light
It lasts forever and always stays the same
Like a movie, you swept into my life
And like a movie, the stars just fade away
Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me all day
Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me all day
Ah, honey, while there's youth upon your face
Ah, honey, are you tiring of the race
My cards are on the table
You can get up and walk away
Or stay
Like a movie, you swept into my life
And like a movie, the stars just fade away
All the characters are mouthing out their lines
And the love scenes are shot in shades of grey
Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me all day
Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me all day
Ah, baby, while there's youth upon your face
Ah, baby, don't you lose that natural grace
My cards are on the table
You can get up and walk away
Or stay
Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me all day
Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me all day
Like a picture the colours fade away
Love is fragile, you hide it from the light
It lasts forever and always stays the same
Like a movie, you swept into my life
And like a movie, the stars just fade away
Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me all day
Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me all day
Ah, honey, while there's youth upon your face
Ah, honey, are you tiring of the race
My cards are on the table
You can get up and walk away
Or stay
Like a movie, you swept into my life
And like a movie, the stars just fade away
All the characters are mouthing out their lines
And the love scenes are shot in shades of grey
Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me all day
Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me all day
Ah, baby, while there's youth upon your face
Ah, baby, don't you lose that natural grace
My cards are on the table
You can get up and walk away
Or stay
Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me all day
Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me all day
