Holding Back The Years

Mick Hucknall, Neil Moss

[Verse 1]
Holding back the years
Thinking of the fear
I've had so long
When somebody hears
Listen to the fear that's gone
Strangled by the wishes of pater
Hoping for the arms of mater
Get to meet her sooner or later

[Chorus]
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on

[Verse 2]
Holding back the years
Chance for me escape
From all I've known
Holding back the tears
Cause nothing here has grown
I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all those years
Nothing had the chance to be good
And nothing ever could

[Chorus]
I'll keep, I'll keep holding on
I'll keep, I'll keep holding on
I'll keep, that's all I have today
I'll keep, all I have to say

[Trumpet Solo]

[Bridge]
I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all of those years
Nothing had the chance to be good
And nothing ever could

[Chorus]
I'll keep, I'll keep holding on
I'll keep, I'll keep holding on
I'll keep, that's all I have today
I'll keep, all I have to say

[Outro]
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
