"Hold me, thrill me, kiss me" was one where the melody popped into mind, and humming along sort of "assembled" enough more words to bring up the title. I don't recognize any of the listed recordings as ones I ever heard do it, but I can't recall who else it might have been.
Recollection is that the "third verse" is notated as a bridge, and there's a "mode change" and a slightly different "beat" for that one. It was a popular dance tune at the "old-folks" dances my short-lived combo played in the 1955-1957 era.
There's a different song titled just "Hold Me," that appears in The Real Little Ultimate Fake Book:
Hold Me, Honey won't you Hold Me, never let me Go Take Me, Honey won't you Take Me, Never to for- Get Me, 'cause I love you So.
Thrill Me, let your kisses Thrill Me, Just like You alone can do
Hold Me, tenderly en- Fold Me, Never try to Hold me, from you.
The Ultimate Country Fake Book, in most revisions, has another titled just "Hold Me." This book gets re-released frequently, with minor changes in content. I show this title in at least the first, third, and fourth editions.
Hold Me Tighter Tell me that tomorrow will be brighter Kiss me Kiss me a little harder Don't kiss me like we're married Kiss me like we're lovers ...
There are two verses and more to the chorus; so if this looks like what's wanted I can do the rest of a transcription later, but my morning newsrag just hit the porch so I need to read the funnies and get to bed.
