Holdin' On

(Lee Emerson)



Holdin' on barely holdin' on

I know if I led off you'll be gone

----- that's holdin' you here

And I'm just barely barely holdin' on.



I never will forget that feelin'

You said love is gone you were leavin'

The hands on the clock quit going around

And I was in the water going down.



Holdin' on barely holdin' on

I know if I led off you'll be gone

----- that's holdin' you here

And I'm just barely barely holdin' on.



--- Instrumental ---



Now every hour brings you closer to goin'

And I already feel the hurt of growin'

You're gonna leave that mighty lonely girl

How much longer can I hold you in my world.



'Cause I'm just holdin' on barely holdin' on

I know if I led off you'll be gone

----- that's holdin' you here

And I'm just barely barely holdin' on.



Yeah, I'm just barely, barely holdin' on...
