Lyrics
Holdin? Out For You
words and music by Gordon McLeod ©2004 beyondthepale@tyler.net 903 592 5925
Verse 1
Holdin? out for you, is what I know that I must do
Ever since your eyes caught mine, no one else would do.
People everywhere, are tellin? me that I?m a fool,
But darlin? I don?t care, you see I?m holdin? out for you.
Verse 2
When, as if by chance, our eyes met with fateful glance
Across a crowded room, I knew that I was doomed.
If it means that I must spend my life in solitude,
That?s what I will do , you see I?m holdin out for you.
Chorus:
If life was such that I could choose
Between a long life without you
Or a day in your embrace
The last is what I?d choose.
If I were God or Superman
And I could make you understand,
Maybe then you?d take my hand , ?till then I?m
Holdin? out for you
Verse 3
(Instrumental interlude on 1/2 the verse)
If it means that I must spend my life in solitude,
That?s what I will do , you see I?m holdin out for you
Chorus:
If life was such that I could choose
Between a long life without you
Or a day in your embrace
The last is what I?d choose.
If I were God or Superman
And I could make you understand,
Maybe then you?d take my hand , ?till then I?m
Holdin? out for you
People everywhere, are tellin? me that I?m a fool,
But darlin? I don?t care, you see I?m holdin? out for you.
Honey I don?t care, you see I?m holdin? out for you.
