I'm holdin' on to you When I close my eyes You're still in my arms And we never said goodbye And it's all that I can do To go on with my life But that's supposed to be the reason Why I'm here tonight In a downtown restaurant with a friend of a friend Well she sure likes to talk and I ain't heard a single word she's said Chorus: Oh, but every now and then I nod And I pretend to pay attention And I say things like, 'Uh huh' And 'Yeah, you're right' and 'Are you kiddin'' And I laugh when it seems Like the right thing to do It's hard to hold a conversation Holdin' on to you I'd give anything Just to hear your voice Or see you look at me and smile Oh but what I miss the most Is holdin' on to you 'Cause here I am tonight Starin' at a woman Who's the last thing on my mind Chorus When I close my eyes You're still in my arms And we never said goodbye ©1999 EMI April Music Inc / Sea Gayle Music / Love Ranch Music
