Ooo time is runnin' out on this poor heart of mine oh yeah

And the whole world seems dark around me

Without you by my side yes it does

Oh I realize I'm not the one you want

But understanding for the one I need

So I'm gonna hold on as tight as I can

Hold on as tight as I can

Oh hold on as long as I can hold on as tight as I can

Words don't come easy with these tear dops in my eyes oh no

And I've walked around in a circle just like a helpless child yes I have

Oh I realize that things have changed

But the sweet sweet memory still remains

So I'm gonna hold on

As long as I can

Yes I am

I hold on as tight as I can

Alright I said love you

Every beat of my heart keeps tellin' me to hold on

Every day that we're apart is tellin' me to hold on

Oh 'cause every mornin' right at the break of dawn

I reach out to touch you but now you're gone

I look in my mirror and operator

I've cried all night long from the things you did

'Cause I'm gonna hold on as long as I can oh yes I am

Hold on as tight as I can

I'm gonna hold on as long as I can

'Cause I love you 'cause I care

I know I'm gonna hold on long long long long

Don't 'cause I care

Just 'cause I care
