Lyrics

Nights, nights can be so cold
Without someone to hold
Man was never meant to be alone
And days, days can be so long
How can I go on without you?
I'm haunted by those memories
Everywhere I turn I see your face, baby
I thought forgetting would be easy to do
But I realize that you just cannot be replaced
I'm holding on, loving in the past
I'm holding on, don't know how long I'm gonna last
Oh, I'm holding on since you've been gone
I keep holding on (Holding on)
Holding on (Holding on), ooh baby
Dreams, I have come to fear
Seeing you appear
'Cause when I wake to find that you're not there
Maybe tomorrow will bring an end to the sorrow I feel (I feel)
I feel, oh
I'm haunted by those memories (Those memories)
Everywhere I turn I see your face, yeah, yeah
I thought forgetting would be easy to do
But I realize that you just cannot be replaced
I'm holding on, loving in the past
I'm holding on, don't know how long I'm gonna last
Oh, oh girl, since you've been gone
I keep holding on (Holding on)
Holding on, baby, oh (Holding on)
Holding on
Love has come and gone
But you know it's a shame
When I'm making love to someone else
And calling out your name
I'm holding on, loving in the past (In the past, oh baby)
Don't know how long I'm gonna last (Oh)
Since you've been gone
I keep holding on (Holding on)
Loving in the past (In the past)
Don't know how long I'm gonna last (Yeah, baby)
Since you've been gone
I keep holding on (Holding on)
Loving in the past (Loving in the past)
Don't know how long I'm gonna last (Yeah, yeah)
Since you've been gone
I keep holding on (Holding on)
