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 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 hearda 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
