Hold On Me

I can hold my tongue For years I don't mind For within that time silent I recite thousands of poems about you Until one of them comes true I can hold my breath For years I won't get blue Once sweet sigh from you In my memory Is the breath of life that tides me through Until the air is clear enough to breath around you I'll keep holding on Mmm such a thrill when you're near But a staggering feat Holding still when I feel folks can hear my heart beat Your love may never flow my way Still I'm gonna keep holding on Shouldn't I just let go Since there's nothing left to do Time just melts away And the current grows stronger Pulling me downstream toward you But until my love runs dry I'm gonna keep holding on Holding on I can't help myself when you're near My head goes wild And my heart beats like an eager child Holding on Holding
