Lyrics

I still remember vividly the day so long ago
The school bus dropped me off by our little country road
A winter storm was raging and I began to cry
I knew no-one would come for me, the drifts were rising high

I wrapped my coat around me and trudged through drifted snow
It was cold and dark and I was scared and felt so all along
When far off in the distance I could faintly see
My dad had saddled our old horse, he came and rescued me

He said:
Hold on tight, don?t let go
I?ll bring you safely home
Though it?s cold and dark, I am here
I won?t leave you alone to walk this lonely road
Hold on tight, you?re all right
Let?s go home

The years passed by so quickly, my dad grew bent and gray
His eyes once bright grew dimmer; he didn?t know my name
Sometimes he would wander so scared and all alone
I?d hold him close and say those words he?d said so long ago

Hold on tight, don?t let go
I?ll bring you safely home
Though it?s cold and dark, I am here
I won?t leave you alone to walk this lonely road
Hold on tight, you?re all right
Let?s go home

Daddy died last winter
I miss him every day
But I feel him close when life is tough
I still hear him say:

Hold on tight, don?t let go
I?ll bring you safely home
Though it?s cold and dark, I am here
I won?t leave you alone to walk this lonely road
Hold on tight, you?re all right
Let?s go home

Hold on tight, you?re all right
Let?s go home
