Two young lovers with their bodies on fire
|
Achin' to swim that river of desire
|
Leavin' innocence there on the bank by their clothes
|
A man holdin' on to a woman lettin' go
|
|
There's a man with a bottle on the other side of town
|
Swimmin' with a mem-ry that he can't drown
|
Lord it ain't sunk in that she ain't comin' home
|
A man holdin' on to a woman lettin' go
|
|
Chorus
|
His heart is tellin him
|
To hang on for dear life
|
Cuz deep down he knows
|
She's lettin' go for good this time
|
|
There's a daddy walkin' his daughter down the aisle
|
Fightin' back tears and forcin' a smile
|
For 22 years he's watched her grow
|
A man holdin' on to a woman lettin' go
|
In the hill valley home there's a feeble old man
|
And he's holdin' on to a fragile old hand
|
and the angels are comin' to carry her home
|
now he's a man holdin' on to a woman lettin' go
|
|
Repeat Chorus
|
|
Repeat verse one
|
