Holdin' On to You

I'm holdin' on to you When I close my eyes You're still in my arms And we never said goodbye It's all that I can do To go on with my life But that's supposed to be the reason why I'm here tonight In a downtown restaurant With a friend of a friend Well, she sure likes to talk And I ain't heard a single word she's said Oh, but every now and then I nod And I pretend to pay attention And I say things like, "Uh huh" And, "Yeah, you're right" and, "Are you kidding?" And I laugh when it seems Like the right thing to do It's hard to hold a conversation Holding on to you I'd give anything Just to hear your voice Or see you look at me and smile Oh, but what I miss the most Is holdin' on to you 'Cause here I am tonight Starin' at a woman Who's the last thing on my mind But every now and then I nod And I pretend to pay attention And I say things like, "Uh huh" And, "Yeah, you're right" and, "Are you kidding?" And I laugh when it seems Like the right thing to do It's hard to hold a conversation It's hard to hold a conversation Holdin' on to you When I close my eyes You're still in my arms And we never said goodbye
