  • I met you in the dark, you lit me up
    You made me feel as though I was enough
    We danced the night away, we drank too much
    I held your hair back when
    You were throwing up

    Then you smiled over your shoulder
    For a minute, I was stone-cold sober
    I pulled you closer to my chest
    And you asked me to stay over
    I said, I already told ya
    I think that you should get some rest

    I knew I loved you then
    But you'd never know
    'Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go
    I know I needed you
    But I never showed
    But I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old
    Just say you won't let go
    Just say you won't let go

    I'll wake you up with some breakfast in bed
    I'll bring you coffee with a kiss on your head
    And I'll take the kids to school
    Wave them goodbye
    And I'll thank my lucky stars for that night

    When you looked over your shoulder
    For a minute, I forget that I'm older
    I wanna dance with you right now
    Oh, and you look as beautiful as ever
    And I swear that everyday'll get better
    You make me feel this way somehow

    I'm so in love with you
    And I hope you know
    Darling your love is more than worth its weight in gold
    We've come so far my dear
    Look how we've grown
    And I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old
    Just say you won't let go
    Just say you won't let go

    I wanna live with you
    Even when we're ghosts
    'Cause you were always there for me when I needed you most

    I'm gonna love you 'til
    My lungs give out
    I promise 'til death we part like in our vows
    So I wrote this song for you, now everybody knows
    Finally it's just you and me 'til we're grey and old
    Just say you won't let go
    Just say you won't let go

    Just say you won't let go
    Oh, just say you won't let go Writer/s: Andrew Frampton, Daniel O'Donoghue, James Arthur, Mark Sheehan, Neil Ormandy, Stephen Kipner, Steven Solomon
