Holdin' On To You Lyrics
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
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
Well she sure likes to talk and I ain't heard a single word she's said
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
Just to hear your voice
Or see you look at me and smile
Oh but what I miss the most
'Cause here I am tonight
Starin' at a woman
Who's the last thing on my mind
You're still in my arms
And we never said goodbye

This is basically about a man who is still attached to a previous love and despite going out on dates with others, he can't get the first one out of his head. He's "holding onto her."
