Why does that restless part of me always see
Did I know love wouId show
And id find the passion I need
Look up ahead
All I see are worlds apart
Broken hearts
Looking for something more
Some magic they might feel
Chorus:
That's why l hold on
Holding out for love
There's only one Im dreaming of
That's why l hold on
HoIding out for love
But will that one heart wait for me
You know we take those twists and turns
Never learn
Goin on
Takes so long to find all the passion we need
Look what we have
Dont wanna be two worlds apart
Loving hearts stay live
Strong survive
Just matters what we both feel
Chorus:
That's why l hold on
Holding out for love
Theres only one I'm dreaminng of
That's why I hold on
Holding out for love
But will that one heart wait for me
I watch the time go by
I swear now baby I...
Have never been so sure in my heart
so close to my dreams
Chorus:
That's why I hold on
Holding out for love
Theres only one Im dreaming of
That's why l hold on
Holding out for love
One lonely heart waiting
