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 that 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 heard a 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
