The song deals with themes of love, regret, and the difficulty of expressing emotions.

Tracy Chapman and Luciano Pavarotti - Baby Can I Hold You Tonight Lyrics
Sorry
It's all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily
Like sorry, like sorry
Perdonami
È uma parola che
Tu non dice mai
E non ti è facile dirme
Perdonami
Perdonami
But you can say it baby
Baby can I hold you tonight
Maybe if I told you the right words
At the right time you'd be mine
Io t'amo
È una parola che
tu non dice mai
Words don't come easily
Like I love you, I love you
Ci sono parole
Che tu non sai dire, o non vuoi
Quando a volte non c'è bisogno di più,
Di uno scusami, se mi vuoi
Baby, can I hold you tonight
Che tu non sai dire, o non vuoi
Maybe if I told you the right words
At the right time you'd be mine
Se mi vuoi
You'd be mine
Se mi vuoi
You'd be mine
Se mi vuoi
You'd be mine
