Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And to say that the love, and all that we knew had just drifted away
And I look, in your eyes, and I couldn't bare the pain I felt inside, of my heart
To think I'm gonna be lonely again, and if e-ever, then I know at a glance
That I don't stand a chance
Hold on, to my love, I'm nothing, and I can't get along without you
Your the light of my life there no living without (your love)
It's so hard, to believe, that your going away could make me feel so down
'Cause I know, that from this moment on I won't have you around
And if e-ever you go, then I know at a glance that I won't stand a chance
So hold on, to my love, I'm nothing, and I can't get along without you
Your the light of my life
There no living without (your love)
Ooh, oh baby, nobody's taking you place but for you, but for me
Our love would live on for the whole world to see

I literally “raised on the radio” as a kid growing up around small market radio…
I remember when this was premiered on a little station in the middle of fly/over Illinois…
I was the one to spin this licorice in 1980.
Still have that 45 with the RSO “Return to Distributor Upon Request” gold stamped on the label.
I thought it was a classic the moment it began to spin.
