I'm Gonna Hold On As Long As I Can

Marvelettes

Ooo time is runnin' out on this poor heart of mine, oh yeah 
& the whole world seems dark around me without you by my side, yes it does 
Oh I realize I'm not the one you want, but understanding for the one I need 
So I'm gonna hold on as long as I can, hold on as tight as I can 
Oh hold on as long as I can, hold on as tight as I can 

Words don't come easy with these teardops in my eyes, oh no 
& I've walked around in a circle just like a helpless child, yes I have 
Oh I realize that things have changed, but the sweet sweet memory still remains 
So I'm gonna hold on as long as I can, hold on as tight as I can 
Oh hold on as long as I can, hold on as tight as I can 

Every beat of my heart keeps tellin' me to hold on 
Every day that we're apart is tellin' me to hold on 
Oh 'cause every mornin' right at the break of dawn 
I reach out to touch you, but now you're gone 
I look in my mirror & operator 
I've cried all night long from the things you did 
I'm gonna hold on as long as I can, oh yes I am (hold on as tight as I can) 
I'm gonna hold on as long as I can, 'cause I love you, 'cause I care 
I know I'm gonna hold on I'm gonna hold on long long long, long as I can 
...& fade
