Hold On Songtext
von James Carr

While I′m away from you
I know it's hard for you, baby
And a lot of times
You′re tempted to do things that you're not willing to do
And I could write you a letter every day
And still not express the true feeling I have
In my heart, in my soul, and in my body for you
And that's why

I guess I just ain′t ready
To write all the things I feel for you
No ladder could be steady
While I climb the sky to get to you

And ain′t nothing I could say or do
To prove my love I have for you
That's why I say


"Hold on to what we′ve got
Feel the love I have in my heart for you
Hold on to what we've got
Someday I know you will agree now"

I′m sitting here holding this paper
Tryna think of something I can say
That will assure you I still need you
Even though, even though I'm so far away

And I pray every day and every night
Lord, make everything alright
That′s why I say

"Hold on to what we've got
Feel the love I have in my heart, dear
Oh, hold on to what we've got
And someday I know you will agree"

Hold on to what we′ve got
