Holdin' On to You

Holdin' On to You - Brad Paisley

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

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

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

Yea it's hard to hold a conversation

Holdin' on to you

When I close my eyes

You're still in my arms

And we never said goodbye
