Lyrics
Hold On
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Somewhere,
A lonely girl lies weeping.
A lonely man tries sleeping,
But he's getting nowhere.
Sometime,
It may be close to morning.
She thought she heard him calling,
But there's nobody there.
And somehow, somehow,
He knows he's got to try
To hold on.
Somewhere she's crying for him.
Hold on.
Someday her smile will call him.
Hold on.
There's someone out there trying for him.
Somehow,
Sometime,
Somewhere.
Somewhere,
Again she sleeps alone.
He is reaching for the phone
But he's calling no one.
Oh Sometime,
She's dreaming of her lover.
It really can't be over
We've only just begun.
And somehow, somehow,
I know I've go to try
To hold on.
Somewhere she's crying for me.
Hold on.
Someday her smile will call me.
Hold on.
There's someone out there trying for me.
Somehow,
Sometime,
Somewhere.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Somehow,
Sometime,
Somewhere.
