Michael Bublé’s introduction to the music of the swing era came to him through his grandfather, who filled his grandson’s ears with the sounds of The Mills Brothers, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and others. As Bublé eagerly absorbed the recordings, he began to realize that he wanted to be a singer and that this style of music, virtually foreign to his own generation, was what he wanted to perform.
With his grandfather’s assistance, Bublé soon learned a whole catalog of tunes and gained experience and exposure by singing as a guest with several local bands. While still in his teen years, he won the Canadian Youth Talent Search, released several independent albums, and performed in a musical review titled Swing that traveled across the U.S. It wasn’t long before Bublé was introduced to Grammy-winning producer David Foster during a famous Canadian wedding of Brian Mulroney’s daughter Caroline Mulroney. He later signed his first major recording contract with Reprise Records after that encounter.
The two Canadians began work on a debut album that would incorporate Bublé’s aptitude for pop standards into songs that spanned several decades. His self-titled debut disc was released in early 2003, and featured jazzy takes on old standards like “Fever” and “The Way You Look Tonight” as well as newer classics like “Moondance” and “How Can You Mend A Broken Heart”.
He finished off 2003 with an EP of holiday material, Let It Snow, and began 2004 with the live CD/DVD set Come Fly With Me. In 2005, It’s Time was a number one hit in Canada, Japan, Italy, and Australia, and made the top ten of both the UK and US. Later that year he released the live album Caught in the Act. More recently, Michael received a 2010 Grammy Award for 'Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album' for 'Michael Bublé Meets Madison Square Garden.
Hold On
Michael Bublé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I guess that we were once
Babe, we were once
But luck will leave you 'cause
It is a faithless friend
And in the end when life has got you down
You've got someone here that you can wrap your arms around
So hold on to me tight
Hold on to me tonight
We are stronger here together
Than we could ever be alone
So hold on to me
Don't you ever let me go
There's a thousand ways for things to fall apart
But it's no one's fault
No it's not my fault
Maybe all the plans we made might not work out
But I have no doubt even though it's hard to see
I've got faith in us and I believe in you and me
So hold on to me tight
Hold on, I promise it'll be alright
'Cause it's you and me together
And baby all we've got is time
So hold on to me, hold on to me tonight
There's so many dreams that we have given up
Take a look at all we've got
And with this kind of love
What we've got here is enough
So hold on to me tight
Hold on, I promise it'll be alright
'Cause we are stronger here together
Then we could ever be alone
Just hold on to me
Don't you ever let me go
Hold on to me, it's gonna be alright
Hold on to me tonight
They always say we were the lucky ones

Didn't they always say we were the lucky ones?
We were once considered lucky, but that is not true anymore
I guess that we were once
We used to be lucky, but not anymore
Babe, we were once
Honey, we used to be lucky
But luck will leave you 'cause
Luck is unreliable and will abandon you at some point
It is a faithless friend
Luck is not loyal
And in the end when life has got you down
When life is tough and overwhelming
You've got someone here that you can wrap your arms around
You have me, and you can turn to me for comfort
So hold on to me tight
Hold me tightly, don't let go
Hold on to me tonight
Hold me tonight, don't leave me
We are stronger here together
We are better off when we are together
Than we could ever be alone
Being together makes us stronger than if we were apart
Don't you ever let me go
Promise me you'll never leave me
There's a thousand ways for things to fall apart
There are countless things that could go wrong
But it's no one's fault
It's not anyone's fault that things could go wrong
No it's not my fault
I'm not to blame for any potential problems
Maybe all the plans we made might not work out
Perhaps our plans won't go as planned
But I have no doubt
I'm confident that we will make it through
Even though it's hard to see
Even if it's difficult to remain optimistic
I've got faith in us and I believe in you and me
I have faith in our relationship and in us as individuals
I promise it'll be alright
I guarantee that everything will be okay
'Cause it's you and me together
We are in this together
And baby all we've got is time
We have plenty of time to figure things out
There's so many dreams that we have given up
We've had to sacrifice some of our dreams
Take a look at all we've got
Let's focus on what we do have in our lives
And with this kind of love
With the love we share
What we've got here is enough
What we have is sufficient
It's gonna be alright
Everything is going to be okay
