Lyrics
We had a good thing for so long
We lived like nothing ever, could ever go so wrong
And now the time goes by, I look in to your eyes
Something's happened to us, and I don't like the new us
I heard that people grow apart
But this is too hard on my breaking heart
And now the time goes past, I hope that we can last
I think that you should know, I'll never let you go
Holdin' on for dear love
It's all I can do
Holdin' on for dear love
'Cause baby I need you
Holdin' on, Holdin' on, for dear love
I'm finding strength I've never known
It's like I'm keeping us together, together on my own
And now as time rolls on, it's like you're almost gone
You're slipping through my hands, this could be our last chance
Holdin' on for dear love
It's all I can do
Holdin' on for dear love
'Cause baby I need you
Holdin' on, holdin' on
Instrumental break
Baby, baby, now that I need you
Holdin' on for dear love
It's all I can do
Holdin' on for dear love
'Cause baby I need you
Holdin' on, holdin' on
Holdin' on for dear love
It's all I can do
Holdin' on for dear love
'Cause baby I need you
Holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on, for dear love
