This life don’t last forever (hold my hand) So tell me what we’re waitin’ for (hold my hand) Better off being together (hold my hand) Than being miserable alone (hold my hand)
Cause I’ve been there before And you’ve been there before But together we can be alright. Cause when it gets dark and when it gets cold We can just hold each other till we see the sunlight
So if you just hold my hand Baby I promise that I’ll do all I can Things will get better if you just hold my hand Nothing can come in between us if you just hold, hold my, hold my, hold my hand.
The nights are getting darker (hold my hand) And there’s no peace inside (hold my hand) So why make our lives harder (hold my hand) By fighting love, tonight.
Cause I’ve been there before And you’ve been there before But together we can be alright. Cause when it gets dark and when it gets cold We can just hold each other till we see the sunlight
So if you just hold my hand Baby I promise that I’ll do all I can Things will get better if you just hold my hand Nothing can come in between us if you just hold my hand
Hold My Hand这首歌的作者克劳德-凯利(Claude Kelly）接受记者采访时表示，这首歌原本是写给惠特妮-休斯顿的，结果被阿肯半途截留，还拿来跟迈克尔-杰克逊合唱，他事先一点也不知道，因此，当他听到迈克尔的声音时，他完全被震住了。一向独来独往的Michael最后一首绝唱《Hold My Hand》却是和后现代黑人歌手Akon（阿肯）的合唱。 其中Michael Jackson多为伴唱，但其优美的歌声为《Hold My Hand》添光不少。这也成了Michael Jackson生前发表的最后一首歌，其实这首歌是迈克杰逊原本在时隔6年后打算在09年发表的新作品，同时这首歌的合唱者阿肯也打算把它收录在自己的专辑，当中不过由于遭到提前泄露，使得唱片公司在仓促中未能来得及大加宣传，这首歌曲也只得以静悄悄的形式和大家见面，使得成为一大遗憾。因为是意外被泄露所以这首歌的宣传和推广自始至终是毫无准备。虽然这首歌迈克杰克逊只是担任配唱这一角色，但是他的单纯之举却成为迈克杰克逊这位一代巨星的绝唱
