Lyrics
Holding On
Sleepless night, restless days
This room?s empty without you
Evening falls, in this blue hotel
When you?re not around
Darkness surrounds me
I?m holding on, I?m holding on
I?m holding on to you
Sun comes up, feel a chill
My mind?s distracted, there?s something about you
I think of you, hour to hour
You?re heaven sent, you?re heaven sent
I?m holding on, I?m holding on
I?m holding on to you
I?m holding on, I?m holding on
I?m holding on to you
Won?t be long, there?s only time between us
Won?t be long
I?m holding on, I?m holding on
I?m holding on to you
I?m holding on, I?m holding on
I?m holding on to you

Holding On
Sleepless night, restless days
This room?s empty without you
Evening falls, in this blue hotel
When you?re not around
Darkness surrounds me
I?m holding on, I?m holding on
I?m holding on to you
Sun comes up, feel a chill
My mind?s distracted, there?s something about you
I think of you, hour to hour
You?re heaven sent, you?re heaven sent
I?m holding on, I?m holding on
I?m holding on to you
I?m holding on, I?m holding on
I?m holding on to you
Won?t be long, there?s only time between us
Won?t be long
I?m holding on, I?m holding on
I?m holding on to you
I?m holding on, I?m holding on
I?m holding on to you
