Trying to Hold on to a Love That’s Dying (piano demo) Songtext
von Elton John

Why can′t you see the tears I'm crying now
I can′t get along without you anyhow
I keep changing your mind trying to make you stay
Don't leave me tomorrow, don't leave me today

I don′t want to be without you, I′m afraid to stand alone
I'm a man without a mountain, like a king without a throne
I keep changing your mind trying to make you stay
Don′t leave me tomorrow, don't leave me today

I′m on my own, on my own
And I'm trying to hold on to a love that′s dying
Saving my strength for the start of my crying
Trying to hold on to something that's gone
And it's better for me to forget you


I don′t want to see your face baby before you go
For if you stand before me, I′m sure to let you know
I keep changing your mind trying to make you stay
Don't leave me tomorrow, don′t leave me today

I'm on my own, on my own
And I′m trying to hold on to a love that's dying
Saving my strength for the start of my crying
Trying to hold on to something that′s gone
And it's better, better for me to forget you

Yes I'm trying to hold on to a love that′s dying
Saving my strength for the start of my crying
Trying to hold on to something that′s gone
And it's better for me to forget you

Yes I′m trying to hold on to a love that's dying
Saving my strength for the start of my crying
