You and I were lovers
For me it was a first
I didn't know how dry I was
Until you satisfied my thirst
We grew up together
Then we grew apart
But through the years
Beyond the tears
The heart holds on
Long after goodbye
The heart holds on
It don't need a reason why
When two souls truly touch
And dare to feel this much
It's never gone
The heart holds on
I hide it when I see you
I'm steady as a rock
But there's a part of me
That dreams of turning back the clock
But I don't make a habit
Of living in the past
My mind says no
I must let go
But the heart holds on
Long after goodbye
The heart holds on
It don't need a reason why
When two souls truly touch
And dare to feel this much
It's never gone
The heart holds on
I might not talk about you
Or ever mention your name
But wrong or right
You're apart of my life
And that ain't going to change
'Cause the heart holds on
Long after goodbye
The heart holds on
It don't need a reason why
When two souls truly touch
And dare to feel this much
It's never gone
The heart holds on
