This all happened many years ago When you and I first met We were strangers from different towns The scene for us was set Pretty soon we were hanging out Spending time as friends Didn't know what it's all about The signals that you sent Closer now, don't think I will ever leave you Never, ever say goodbye Hold on to love, don't let it slip away Hold on to love, we'll take it day by day When hearts are broken you will find All that you had has been left behind Whoo-ah! Hold on to love You were there when my best friend died To ease me through the pain But you never seemed to realize It was you that kept me sane Looking back on everything that was So many years ago Do you ever think of all those times When it was me and you? Closer now, don't think I will ever leave you Never, ever say goodbye Hold on to love, don't let it slip away Hold on to love, we'll take it day by day When hearts are broken you will find All that you had has been left behind Whoo-ah! Hold on to love Closer now, don't think I will ever leave you Never, ever say goodbye Hold on to love, don't let it slip away Hold on to love, we'll take it day by day When hearts are broken you will find All that you had has been left behind Whoo-ah! Hold on to love, don't let it slip away Hold on to love, we'll take it day by day When hearts are broken you will find All that you had has been left behind Whoo-ah! Whoo-ah! Whoo-ah! Hold on to love
