I'm holding on to you When I close my eyes You're still in my arms And we never said goodbye And 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 holding on to you 'Cause here I am tonight Staring at a woman Who's the last thing on my mind 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 When I close my eyes You're still in my arms And we never said goodbye
