Lyrics
Hold On
I can't keep the sun from setting
And I can't make it rise
I can't stop your heart from breaking
But I'll hold you while you cry
There's a spring after every cold dark winter
There's a dawn after every long hard night
And there's an answer to every prayer we whisper
And there's a new day in sight
So hold on
Until tomorrow
Hold on to my hand
Every joy has known its sorrow
So hold on until tomorrow
I have been where you are now
Stranded at the edge
And hope is what I held on to
I was hanging by a thread
Hold on
Until tomorrow
Hold on to my hand
Every joy has known its sorrow
So hold on until tomorrow
Hold on
Until tomorrow
Hold On to my hand
Every joy has known its sorrow
So hold on until tomorrow
Hold on
Until tomorrow
Hold On to my hand
Every joy has known its sorrow
So hold on until tomorrow
