Discover the story of the song > Hold Back The Dawn – Robbie Robertson

This song is about a man who is mesmerized by a woman he sees in Echo Park. They have a strong connection and spend the night together, not wanting the morning to come. The man dreams of breaking the rules for her, but realizes that there are obstacles in their way. He is haunted by the feeling of their connection. The song ends with the woman whispering to him and asking if he can feel her heartbeat. The man wants to hold back the dawn and keep the night going on.
