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
