Holdin' On to You

I'm holdin' onto you

When I close my eyes

You're still in my arms

And we never said goodbye

And it's all that 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

She sure likes to talk and I ain't heard a single word she's said

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' onto you

'Cause here I am tonight

Staring at a woman

Who's the last thing on my mind

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

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
