Lyrics
Keep Holding On
Verse 1
How much life, can she pack in that car?
Another bird flies the nest
Time just keeps roll-ing on (On & on)
A new destination
Too many miles from home
But I will be strong
I'll keep holding on
Chorus
I'll keep holding on
Pretend you're not gone
Like everything's perfect, there's nothing wrong
I'll fight back the tears, like we still have years
But still in my heart I keep holding on
Verse 2
An old dusty photo, hung on the wall
Shows a tiny hand in mine,
Oh. how the time rolls on
What lies ahead?
On this journey that you must take
Just keep holding on
Keep holding on
Chorus 2
I'll keep holding on
Pretend you're not gone
Like everything's perfect, there's nothing wrong
I'll fight back the tears, like we still have years
But still in my heart I keep holding on
Bridge
A counterfeit smile, hides the tears on my cheek
But those memories come flooding out,
As that car disappears down the street
Chorus
I'll keep holding on
Pretend you're not gone
Like everything's perfect, there's nothing wrong
I'll fight back the tears, like we still have years
But still in my heart I keep holding on
