Holdin' On to You Songtext
von Brad Paisley

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
