Holdin' On Lyrics

von Terry Callier

Love was made or a summer day
A chance for two t' getaway
Walkin' hand-in-hand to the picture show
Reelin' to the sound of music from the rad-i-o
(Now) if it wasn't for the things you do to me
I might lose a-hold on my sanity
I just want to stop and drift awhile
And melt into the sweetness of your smile
'Cause I'm holdin' on to your love
I'm holdin' on - to your love

Now my money's short but the hustle is long
All around the world the heat is on
Your tenderness helps te cool out some of the strile
You make all the difference in my life
Well I spent the day with a friend of mine
We were standin' in the unemployment line
Sugar that's the longest damned line in town
But even crap like that can't keep me down
'Cause I'm holdin' on to your love
I'm holdin' on to your love

Now you've got what it takes to make my soul unwind
(I said) I'm holdin' on - I'm holdin' on
You're my sweet release I'm talkin' 'bout Peace of mind
(I said) I'm holdin' on - holdin' on
(I said) I'm holdin' on to your love
Holdin' on - to your love
