Lyrics

Hold On to the Ones You Love

[Verse 1]

Wish I knew

Why you left

Now I seek and hope for the best

[Pre-Chorus]

And I know that it might be too late

But please don't walk away

[Verse 2]

I may have lost

But I don't regret

Yes, I try and try

But I can't forget

[Pre-Chorus]

And I know that is probably too late

But please don't walk away

[Chorus]

So, hold on to the ones you love

'Cause they may soon be gone

And hold on to the ones you love

'Cause they could soon be gone, hmm

[Verse 3]

I will climb a mountain

Just to see your face

Follow the eagle that's flying your way

I will do it all

Yes, if I could I would

Yes, I will do it all

[Bridge]

It's been long

It's over now

It's so hard not to miss

Or could it be found?

And, yes, I know

I know it's too late

But why'd you go away?

[Chorus]

So, hold on to the ones you love

'Cause they will soon be gone

Hold on to the ones you love

'Cause they will soon be gone
