I can hold my tongue for years, I don't mind
|
For in the night 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
|
On sweet sigh from you
|
In my memories the breath of life baptizes me through
|
Till the air is clear enough to breathe 'round you
|
I'll keep holding on
|
|
Such a thrill when you're near
|
But a staggering feet
|
Holding still when I feel
|
[?] I can hear my heartbeat, 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
|
I keep holding on, holding on
|
|

Hold On Me
