Lyrics
You used to hold me tight through all the good and the bad
Always loving me with all of your heart
I always took for granted just how tender you were
And I never really did my part
One day you packed your things and walked right out of my life
And hardly ever took a look a back
I know you’re out there with the future love of your life
My heart is under attack
Well the tears I’ve cried won’t ever bring you back
But I’m hoping that I’ll see the day
You’ll turn around with loving open arms
And I'll pray, pray that you’ll come on back
Holding On, holding on that you’ll come back
Holding On, I’m begging baby can’t you see
This place feels so alone without your presence here
I’m walking aimlessly from room to room
Your smile used to always brighten up my day
Now it’s only filled with doom and gloom
How did we go so wrong I often ask myself
What did I do to make you run from me
I only want to hold you in my arms again
But that future is hard to see
Well the tears I’ve cried won’t ever bring you back
But I’m hoping that I’ll see the day
You’ll turn around with loving open arms
And I'll pray, pray that you’ll come on back
Holding On, holding on that you’ll come back
Holding On, I’m begging baby can’t you see
Well the tears I’ve cried won’t ever bring you back
But I’m hoping that I’ll see the day
You’ll turn around with loving open arms
And I'll pray, pray that you’ll come on back
Holding On, (holding on)
holding on that you’ll come back
Holding On, (still holding on)
I’m begging baby can’t you see
I’m still holding on
Baby come on back to me
Baby please come back to me
