"Hold Me Now" was the Irish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1987 in Brussels, performed by Johnny Logan.
This was his second appearance, having represented the country in the Eurovision Song Contest 1980 in The Hague with the song "What's Another Year", which gave the country its second victory.
It won the Contest with 172 points, giving the country its third win and making him the only act to win the Contest twice as a performer representing the same country, a record which stood until Loreen won the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 in Liverpool.
Lyrics[]
Don’t, don’t close your heart to how you feel
Dream, and don’t be afraid the dream’s not real
Close your eyes, pretend it’s just the two of us again
Make believe this moment’s here to stay
Touch, touch me the way you used to do
I know tonight could be all I’ll have with you
From now on, you’ll be with someone else instead of me
So tonight, let’s fill this memory
For the last time
Hold me now, don’t cry, don’t say a word
Just hold me now and I will know, though we’re apart
We’ll always be together, forever in love
What do you say when words are not enough?
Time, time will be kind once we’re apart
And your tears, tears will have no place in your heart
I wish I, I could say how much I’ll miss you when you’re gone
How my love for you will go on and on and
Hold me now, don’t cry, don’t say a word
Just hold me now and try to understand that
I hope at last you’ve found what you’ve been searchin’ for
And though I won’t be there anymore
I will always love you
(Hold me now, don’t cry) Don’t say a word
Just hold me now and I will know, though we’re apart
We’ll always be together, forever in love
What do you say when words are not enough?
What can I say now my words are not enough?
