Holding On
Jeff Scott Soto Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I remember the 1st time that I held u
I knew I never could let u go
U came into my life so unexpectedly
& Now I'm gonna let u know

I'm gonna give u all I've got 2 give
Cuz baby without u, I can't live
Now I'm holding on 4ever (holding on, holding on)
If u wanna hold on 2 (holding on, holding on)
Now I'm holding on 4ever
Cuz it's u I don't wanna lose

U say that u think u found the feelings
Well, I'm hoping that they're true
Cuz, I can't take another, another heartbreak
It's getting hard 2 start anew

I'd climb the highest mountain, swim the deepest seas
Cuz baby u don't know what u mean to me

Now I'm holding on 4ever (holding on, holding on)
If u wanna hold on 2 (holding on, holding on)
Now I'm holding on 4ever
Cuz it's u I don't wanna lose

I'd climb the highest mountain, swim the deepest seas
Cuz baby u don't know what u mean to me

Now I'm holding on 4ever (holding on, holding on)
If u wanna hold on 2 (holding on, holding on)
Now I'm holding on 4ever
Cuz it's u I don't wanna lose




Now I'm holding on 4ever
Cuz it's u I don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna... lose
