Holding On
Stan Walker & Ginny Blackmore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're on the Earth
But you, you meet me in my darkest cover
Can't count what you've worked
'Cause, baby when the waves crash over me
Baby, when the skies turn crazy
You're the only one that I want next to me, me
I realize I'm lucky to be holding you
When my ground starts shaking and my bones start breaking
I realize I'm lucky to be holding you
We ain't in a perfect world, we used to bring the stars out
Used to freak my heart out, ooh oh
With every passing second, every drop of falling rain
I realize I'm lucky, I'm lucky, I'm lucky to be holding you,
Holding you, holding you, holding you
Thought I would always be alone, then you, you walked in like a tree
Your smile shine brighter than the sun, to me
Your heart is next to mine
'Cause, baby when the waves crash over me
Baby, when the skies turn crazy
You're the only one that I want next to me, me
With every passing second, every drop of falling rain
I realize I'm lucky to be holding you
When my ground starts shaking and my bones start breaking
I realize I'm lucky to be holding you
We ain't in a perfect world, we used to bring the stars out
Used to freak my heart out, ooh oh
With every passing second, every drop of falling rain
I realize I'm lucky, I'm lucky, I'm lucky to be holding you
And I know (I know)
What we've got is far greater than a dream
You become my everything (Yeah)
I know, (I know) we ain't perfect but I want you everyday
Could I be that lucky
With every passing second, every drop of falling rain
I realize I'm lucky to be holding you
When my ground start shaking and my bones start breaking
I realize I'm lucky to be holding you
We ain't in a perfect world, we used to bring the stars out
Used to freak my heart out, ooh oh
With every passing second, every drop of falling rain
I realize I'm lucky, I'm lucky, I'm lucky to be holding you,
Baby
Holding you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm holding you
