Something to hold on to
Everybody needs
Something that can't slip
Right through your fingers
Lookin' for that reason,
Reason to believe
Something to hold on to
And I'm holding on to you
Something to hold on to
Like a baby's hand
Something there's no way
Of letting go
Can't get by without it
There's no one who can
Something to hold on to
And I'm holding on to you
All the way up,
All the way down
Taking the short or long way 'round
What if this is all that there is
I've got enough to keep me going
I have no possessions
That can't be thrown away
Your love is my one and only treasure
Nothing last forever
But this one's gonna stay
It's something to hold on to,
And I'm holding on to you
