Brad Paisley - Holdin' on to You Lyrics

Artist: Brad Paisley

Album: Who Needs Pictures

  • Songwriters: Chris Dubois, Kelly Lovelace, Brad Paisley

I'm holdin' on to you
When I close my eyes
You're still in my arms
And we never said goodbye

And it's all that I can do
To go on with my life
But that's supposed to be the reason
Why I'm here tonight

In a downtown restaurant with a friend of a friend
Well, she sure likes to talk
And I ain't heard a single word she's said

Oh, but every now and then I nod
And I pretend to pay attention
And I say things like, "Uh huh"
And, "Yeah, you're right" and "Are you kiddin'"

And I laugh when it seems
Like the right thing to do
It's hard to hold a conversation
Holdin' on to you

I'd give anything
Just to hear your voice
Or see you look at me and smile
Oh, but what I miss the most

Is holdin' on to you
'Cause here I am tonight
Starin' at a woman
Who's the last thing on my mind

But every now and then I nod
And I pretend to pay attention
And I say things like, "Uh huh"
And, "Yeah, you're right" and "Are you kiddin'"

And I laugh when it seems
Like the right thing to do
It's hard to hold a conversation
Yea, it's hard to hold a conversation
Holdin' on to you

When I close my eyes
You're still in my arms
And we never said goodbye
