Held On To You

The summer came and rolled away

In your beat down, old Chevrolet

The rollercoasters had come and gone

The time was spent, the days were long

And in the darkness of the rain

Behind the carousel parade

I pulled you close, we danced along

To the calliope's old song

And I held on to you

And you held on to me

Repeat

When October's leaves did fall

I hadn't seen you, not at all

The summer's love had come and gone

Like moonlit skies, all full of stars

And in the solitude of the night

When I close my eyes to say goodnight

My mind drifts back to fleeting days

Of August nights and your embrace

And I held on to you

And you held on to me

Repeat

Sometimes on a rainy day

When I pass by that old parade

I can feel the way you felt and the smell of your hair

When I held on to you

And you held on to me
