Etta James - Holding Back The Years lyrics

Holding back the years Thinking of the fear I've had so long When somebody hears Listen to the fear that's gone Strangled by the wishes of pater Hoping for the arm of mater Get to me sooner or later Nothing ever could, yeah I'll keep holding on (I'll keep holding on) I'll keep holding on (Keep holding on) I'll keep holding on (Never let you go away) I'll keep holding on Holding back the years Chance for me to escape from all I know Holding back the tears, yeah There's nothing here has grown I've wasted all my tears Wasted all those years Nothing had the chance to be good Nothing ever could, yeah, yeah, yeah, alright I'll keep holding on (I'm gon' keep holding on) I'll keep holding on (Holding and holding and holding) I'll keep holding on (I'll keep holding, babe) I'll keep holding on (So tight) I wasted all my tears Wasted all those precious years Nothing had the chance to be good Nothing ever could, yeah, yeah and I'll I'll keep holding on (I'm gonna hold on, babe) I'll keep holding on (I'm gonna hold, hold, hold, hold on) I'll keep holding on (Can't let you go) I'll keep holding on (I keep holding and holding and holding on) I'll keep holding on (I can't let you go for nobody) I'll keep holding on (I'm gonna keep holding and holding, baby) I'll keep holding on (I, I) I'll keep holding on (I'll keep holding, holding on) I'll keep holding on (I'll keep holding on)
