Holding On
DJ Manta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm losing control of my emotions
You've got this hold on my heart
I've never known what we are feeling
You never took me so far
I can't find the words
Is this love?
Tell me I've found you
Is this love?
Say that you'll always keep
Holding on
Keep holding on
'Cause your love's got a hold on me
Holding on
Keep holding on
Yeah,
I'm losing my mind dreaming about you
Still as you sleep by my side
Kiss me awake, whisper Good Morning
Say what you said one more time
'Cause I need to know
Is this love?
Tell me I've found you
Is this love?
Say that you'll always keep
Holding on
Keep holding on
'Cause your love's got a hold on me
Holding on
Keep holding on
Yeah,
Is this love?
Tell me I've found you
Is this love?
Say that you'll always keep
Holding on
Keep holding on
'Cause your love's got a hold on me
Holding on




Keep holding on
Yeah.

Lange truly was ahead of his time

Every track heโ€™s made instantly is recognizable

Truly a legend in the Trance world

@danielcrescendo2544

RIP the old channel, I had only been into old trance music for a year. And the amazing collection just disappeared suddenly.

@Dashoost

You have a lot of catching up to do my friend! :)

@micknevinger5259

for me it was much much longer than a year..... , i still miss the old channel as well luckily for me at least i managed to find most of if not all of the names even though it took a very long time and i had like around 800 tracks from his older channel.

@thanrl

I wonder who was the label/individual that got the old channel banned?

@zettame9403

Are you talking about TranceClassics old channel?, which I'm pretty sure you are. Miss it to as well, don't know if they re-uploaded what they took down back then, know i might be loosing out on some treasure's that I never got to hear.

@sannnah
