Lyrics
Hanging onto something by David Clarke
When I was running wild yeah
Breezes blowing through my hair
I looked the best at life yeah
Like I didn't have a care
Then the magic started to happen
Turnin' my world inside out
Turning everything upside down
The start of a great affair
But I wanted you to know
I was just hanging onto something
Hanging onto something
Hanging onto something
Hanging onto something
Hanging onto something
I need your lovin' near me every day
When I look back across my shoulder
I see the years passed by yeah
I see the tears I cried yeah
It was a new discovery
Then I took you by the hand yeah
Made castles in the sand
Turnin' life around yeah
It was a crazy story
But I wanted you to know
I was just hanging onto something
I let my feelings go
I was just hanging onto something
Come near me and I'll whisper
It was a new discovery
It was a new discovery
It was a new discovery
Hanging onto something
Hanging onto something
Hanging onto something
Hanging onto something
I need your lovin' near me every day
