[Verse 1] Never thought you'd ever leave me But I was wrong, I was wrong Maybe if I'd seen it sooner When I was strong, when I was strong I could've lifted you up, could've shown you the light That I was too far gone in my own life [Chorus] I'll hold on to your memory I'll hold on to the love you leave behind I'll hold on to your beauty and grace I'll fight through the pain and hold on [Verse 2] Never asked anything of me But for love, but for love And if not for your mother You'd be here, here with me But the years, they go by A picture lost in time And I know somehow I got to keep moving [Chorus] I'll hold on to your memory I'll hold on to the love you leave behind I'll hold on to your beauty and grace I'll fight through the pain and hold on [Bridge] Cause for you I stay strong For you I stand tall For you I'll hold on For you I'll hold on I'll hold on to your memory I'll hold on, I'll hold on [Chorus] I'll hold on to your memory I'll hold on to the love you leave behind I'll hold on to your beauty and grace I'll fight through the pain Through the wind and the rain Through the anger and shame I'll hold on Yeah, yeah yeah Hold on
