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.
Hold on
Hold on to yourself
For this is gonna hurt like hell.
Hold on
Hold on to yourself.
You know that only time can tell
What is it in me that refuses to believe
This isn't easier than the real thing.
My love
You know that you're my best friend.
You know that I'd do anything for you
And my love
Let nothing come between us
My love for you is strong and true.
Am I in heaven here or
Am I...
At the crossroads I am standing.
So now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray
That you'll be strong tomorrow
And will see another day
And we will praise it
And love the light that brings a smile
Across your face.
Oh God
If you're out there won't you hear me.
I know we're never talked before
And oh God
The man I love is leaving
Won't you take him when he comes to your door.
Am I in heaven here or
Am I in hell
At the crossroads I am standing.
So now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray
That you'll be strong tomorrow
And we will see another day
And we will praise it
And love the light that brings a smile
Across your face
Hold on
Hold on to yourself
For this is gonna hurt like hell.
