Take That – Greatest Day Lyrics

Pop

Today this could be, the Greatest Day of our lives
Before it all ends, before we run out of time

Stay close to me
Stay close to me
Watch the world come alive tonight
Stay close to me

Tonight this could be the greatest night of our lives
Let's make a new start
The future is ours to find

Can you see it, can you see it in my eyes
Can you feel it now, can you hold it in your arms tonight
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
(Tonight)
Hold on, hold on

Oh stay close to me (Hold On)
Stay close to me
Watch the world come alive tonight
Stay close to me
Woah
Hold your head high (Hold On)
Arms open wide
Yea the world starts to come alive
When you stay close it me

Today this could be the Greatest Day of our lives
Today this could be the Greatest Day of our lives

Ooh
And the world comes alive
And the world comes alive
And the would comes alive
Oh oh ooh
Stay close to me (and the world comes alive) hold on
Stay close to me (and the world comes alive)
Watch the world come alive tonight
Stay close to me (Hold on)
Oh stay close to me and the world comes alive
Stay close to me and the world comes alive
Watch the world come alive tonight
Stay close to me, oh, woah
