Baby Hold On

Dixie Chicks · Taking The Long Way [2006]

Hey, it might never be the same

We might never live those days gone by

But we can try



Good morning

Let's kick the babies out of bed

How bout you and me instead hanging on

Not up and gone



(Baby, hold on)

Let's start this over

(Baby, hold on)

We're not much older now

(Baby, hold on)

If you still see what I see

Keep holding on

Hold on to me



Baby, it's good to see you smile again

I know we can't escape

So let's pretend

We're someplace else



It's a new day

Let's look at all we've got

It's everything we thought

We ever wanted

It's beautiful



(Baby, hold on)

Let's start this over

(Baby, hold on)

We're not much older now

(Baby, hold on)

If you still see what I see

Keep holding on

Hold on to me



I look across the room and catch you staring at me

And see the love we almost left behind

So lead me by the hand and let's make up

Let's make up for lost time



(Baby, hold on)

Let's start this over

(Baby, hold on)

We're not much older

(Baby, hold on)

If you still see what I see

Keep holding on



(Baby, hold on)

Hold on to me

(Baby, hold on)

Just hold on to me

(Baby, hold on)

Hold on to me

Keep holding on



Hey, it might never be the same

We might never live those days gone by

But we can try
