We're Gonna Hold On
Tammy Wynette · The Definitive Collection [Sony] [1999]
we're gonna hold on
we're gonna hold on to each other
life can be rough sometimes it's kind
a real good life is hard to find
but the best love is the one we've known
and the faith we have between us makes it grow
some love lives and some love don't
we've got the kind of love we want
it brings us happiness all through the day
nothin can ever make it go away
we're gonna hold on
we're gonna hold on
we're gonna hold on to each other
time will tell if your right or wrong
we know we're right by holdin on
and the future is set for you and me
filled with love the way we both want it to be
we're gonna hold on
we're gonna hold on
we're gonna hold on to each other
we're gonna hold on
we're gonna hold on....fade
