Hold On (Alternate Version)

[Verse 1]

Hold on

Hold on to yourself

For this is gonna hurt like hell

Hold on

Hold on to yourself

You know that only time will tell

What is it in me that refuses to believe

This isn't easier than the real thing?

[Verse 2]

My love

You know that you're my best friend

You know I'd do anything for you

My love

Let nothing come between us

My love for you is strong and true

Am I in heaven here or am I–?

At the crossroads I am standing

[Chorus]

So now you're sleeping peaceful

I lie awake and pray

That you'll be strong tomorrow

And we'll see another day

And we will praise it

And love the light that brings a smile

Across your face, mmm

[Verse 3]

I know that we've never talked before

Oh God

The man I love is leaving

Won't you take him when he comes to your door?

Am I in heaven here or am I in hell?

At the crossroads I am standing

[Chorus]

Now you're sleeping peaceful

I lie awake and pray

That you'll be strong tomorrow

And we'll see another day

And we will praise it

And love the light that brings a smile

And now you're sleeping peaceful

I lie awake and pray

That you'll be strong tomorrow

And we'll see another day

And we will praise it

And love the light that brings a smile

Across your face

[Outro]

Hold on

Hold on to yourself

For this is gonna hurt like—
