Lyrics
HOLD ON TO MY HEART
Words & Music by Elliot St. Paul
VERSE 1: SHE WAS 26 AND HE WAS 41, PAY NO MIND TO THE MATH.
HE KNEW STRAIGHT ON THAT SHE WAS THE ONE
THE MINUTE SHE CROSSED HIS PATH
CLIMB: HIS HEART STOOD STILL, HIS LIPS WENT DRY
NOTHIN? EVER SEEMED SO RIGHT
HE SAID: ?MELISSA, LISTEN TO THE WORDS I SAY,
MELISSA, I?LL LOVE YOU ?TIL MY DYIN? DAY.?
CHORUS: HOLD ON TO MY HEART, HOLD ON TO MY HEART
HOLD ON TO MY HEART, AND NEVER, NEVER, NEVER LET GO.
VERSE 2; SHE WAS HIS THRILL UP ON BLUEBERRY HILL
BUT NO ONE THOUGHT IT WOULD LAST
THE NEIGHBORS ALL SAID HE WAS ROBBIN? THE CRADLE
AND THIS ROMANCE WOULD PASS
CLIMB: HE ONLY KNEW HIS DREAMS CAME TRUE
WHENEVER SHE CAME INTO VIEW
HE SAID: ?MELISSA, LISTEN TO THE WORDS I SAY,
MELISSA, I?LL LOVE YOU ?TIL MY DYIN? DAY
CHORUS
BRIDGE: JUST DON?T LISTEN TO WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYIN?
IT?S JUST A GOSSIPY GAME THEY?RE PLAYIN? ON YOU.
