Im holdin on to you When I close my eyes Youre still in my arms And we never said goodbye And its all that I can do To go on with my life But thats supposed to be the reason Why Im here tonight In a downtown restaurant with a friend of a friend Well she sure likes to talk and I aint heard a single word shes said Chorus Oh, but every now and then I nod And I pretend to pay attention And I say things like, "uh huh" And, "yeah, youre right" and "are you kiddin" And I laugh when it seems Like the right thing to do Its hard to hold a conversation Holdin on to you Id give anything Just to hear your voice Or see you look at me and smile Oh but what I miss the most Is holdin on to you cause here I am tonight Starin at a woman Whos the last thing on my mind Chorus When I close my eyes Youre still in my arms And we never said goodbye
