Holding Things Together
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.
Holding things together ain't no easy thing to do
When it comes to raising children it's a job meant for two
Alice please believe me I can't go on and on holding things together with you gone
Today was Angie's birthday I guess it slipped your mind
I tried twice to call you with no answer either time
But the postman brought a present I mailed some days ago
I just signed it love from mama so Angie wouldn't know
Holding things together ain't no easy thing to do
When it comes to raising children it's a job meant for two
Alice please believe me I can't go on and on holding things together with you gone
I'm holding things together please come home
