Hold On

How it hurts me

To see you cry

And I can't think of something to say

Everything passes

My darling child

And better days are coming your way

Boys will be ruthless

And girls will be mean

That's a story that's as old as time

But when they catch you

Be sure they catch you smiling

Oh, darling keep your head up high

You gotta hold on

You gotta hold on

You got a life to live

Got your love to give

You gotta hold on

You gotta hold on

You gotta hold on

Got your life to live

So much love to give

You gotta hold on, oh, now hold on

When you get older

You'll see the world's great wonders

How their beauty's in the palm of your hand

It's not in your schoolbooks

And no one can teach you

It's a thing you gotta feel for yourself

But now you're crying

Let me dry your eyes

Let them catch you smiling

With your head up high

You gotta hold on

You gotta hold on

You got a life to live

Got your love to give

Gotta hold on

You gotta hold on

You gotta hold on

You got your life to live

So much love to give

You gotta hold on, yeah

Just hold on, oh, darling

Hold on
