ooohh time is runnin’ out
on this coldhearted night oh yeah
and the whole world seems stopped around
without you by my side yes it does
oh i realize i’m not the one you want
but understand it you’re the one i need
so i’m gonna hold on as long as i can
hold tight as i can
hold on long as i can
hold on tight as i can
words don’t come easy
with these teardrops in my eyes oh my
and i walkin’ around in a stupor
just like a helpless child yes i am
oh i realize that things have changed
but the sweet sweet memories still remain
i’m gonna hold on as long as i can oh yes i am
hey hey hey hey
hold on long as i can hold on long as i can
yeah every beat of my heart
keeps tellin’ me to hold on
mmm
every day that we’re apart is tellin’ me to hold on
oh ’cause on it break of dawn
i reach out to touch ya and i’m alone
i look in the mirror my eyes are red
from crying all night long from the things you said
’cause then i’m gonna
hold on as long as i can oh yes i am
hold on long as i can
i’ve got to got to hold on as long as i can
hold on long as i can
’cause i love ya
hold on long as i can
i know i’ve got to hold long long long long as i can
hold on long as i can
oh yes i am
