Hold on
V1
I walked down the street today
where we said our vows in May
the church bells still ring 12 times at noon
as I stood there on the corner
my shadow growing ever longer
I would have sworn those bells rang out of tune.
bridge:
I know that I'll miss your smile
and the twinkle in your eye
Those things they don't break me right in two
instead what really gets me
maybe you would agree
Is how we fell apart out of the blue
Ch
I wish I'd been a little stronger
and held on a little longer
as my vision turns from gold to grey
I guess that we got older
Now I no longer hold you
you can’t hold what’s already gone away.
V2
On that cold day in December
I'll always remember
the day there was no ribbons and no bows
the snow it was so white
your heart as cold as ice
on the day that you gave away our love
bridge:
I know that I'll miss your smile
and the twinkle in your eye
Those things they don't break me right in two
what really gets me
maybe you would agree
Is how we fell apart out of the blue
Ch
I wish I'd been a little stronger
and held on a little longer
my vision turns from gold to grey
I guess that we got older
Now I no longer hold her
you can’t hold what’s already gone away.
V3
We held on for all these years
Through all the joys and the tears
I guess it was never quite enough
What happens when your blue skies gone
The birds no longer sing a song
I found out the day I called your bluff
bridge:
I know that I'll miss your smile
and the twinkle in your eye
Those things they don't break me right in two
what really gets me
maybe you would agree
Is how we fell apart out of the blue
Ch
I wish I'd been a little stronger
and held on a little longer
my vision turns from gold to grey
I guess that we got older
Now I no longer hold her
Another of life’s failures on display.
I wish I'd been a little stronger
and held on a little longer
my vision turns from gold to grey
I guess that we got older
Now I no longer hold her
you can’t hold what’s already gone away.
