Holding On

歌詞

If I had to move away, if I had to pack a box today There are some things I'd have to let go before I headed down the interstate. My favorite dress that doesn't fit anymore, and all the papers in my old desk drawer Bad habits and old grudges, I'd take them all to the second hand store. But there's a list of things I'd have to take with me No matter how long this winding road turns out to be I'm holding on to the valentines And letters I've read a thousand times that say "We believe in you," and "never give up your dreams." I'm holding on to my own backyard I hope that I can fit it all in my car When the whole world's letting go I'll keep holding on You can't keep a harvest moon, it fades away all too soon And even the trees let go of their leaves much quicker than you'd ever choose So many people say goodbye, I see those teardrops in their eyes And I start to wonder how I'd live without love And I'm glad I never have to try 'Cause hardly anything lasts forever anymore But there will always be a few things that I'm gonna keep fighting for I'm holding on to my father's love And my mother's faith in God above She says "We believe in you," and "never give up your dreams." I'm holding on to my true love's hand And I know that he will always understand When the whole world's letting go I'll keep holding on Shooting stars and red balloons Ice cream cones and breezy Junes I love them all, I hold them dear But they so quickly disappear These are the things I'll keep with me No matter where my life will lead me A loving word, a gentle kiss I need nothing more than this I'm holding on to the valentines And letters I've read a thousand times that say "We believe in you," and "never give up your dreams." I'm holding on to my own backyard I hope that I can fit it all in my car When the whole world's letting go I'll keep holding on I'm holding on to my father's love And my mother's faith in God above She says "We believe in you," and "never give up your dreams." I'm holding on to my true love's hand And I know that he will always understand When the whole world's letting go I'll keep holding on
