American Music Program - Hold On Me lyrics

I can hold my tongue for years I don't mind For within that time, silent I recite thousands of poems about you Until one of them comes true I can hold my breath for years I won't get blue On sweet sigh from you In my memories the breath of life that tights me through Till the air is clear enough to breathe around you I'll keep holding on Such a thrill when you're near, but a staggering feat Holding still when I feel folks can hear my heartbeat Your love may never flow my way still I'm gonna keep holding on Shouldn't I just let go, since there's nothing left to do? Time just melts away and the current grows stronger, pulling me downstream t'ward you But until my love runs dry, I'm gonna keep holding on Holding on, I can't help myself when you're near, my head goes wild and my heart beats like an eager child I keep holding on, holding on
