Holdin' On To You Songtext / Lyric

I'm holdin on to you

When I close my eyes

You're still in my arms

And we never said goodbye

It's all I can do

To go on with my life

But that's supposed to be

The reason why I'm here tonight.



In a downtown restaurant

With a friend of a friend

Well, she sure likes to talk

And I ain't heard a single word, she's said.






Chorus:

Oh, but every now and then I nod

And I pretend to pay attention

And I say things like, uh huh

And Yeah, you're right and are you kiddin'

And I laugh when it seems

Like the right thing to do

It's hard to hold a conversation

Holdin' on to you.



I'd give anything

Just to hear your voice

Or see you look at me and smile

Oh, but what I miss the most.



Is holdin' on to you

'Cause here I am tonight

Starin' at a woman

Who's the last thing on my mind.



Chorus:

But every now and then I nod

And I pretend to pay attention

And I say things like, uh huh

And Yeah, you're right and are you kiddin'

And I laugh when it seems

Like the right thing to do

It's hard to hold a conversation

It's hard to hold a conversation

Holdin' on to you.



When I close my eyes

You're still in my arms

And we never said goodbye...
