(lari white/chuck cannon)

there´s a chill hanging in the air
we´ve been silent all night long
i´m lying here, you´re way over there
pretending there ain´t nothing wrong
ain´t there something i can say, something you can do
something´s getting in the way, baby
we can´t let it tear us in two

you´ve got to hold on to me and i´ll hold on to you
we´ve got to hold on to each other
you know, next to love there ain´t nothing worth holding onto

so, baby, hold on to me and i´ll hold on to you
we might have to stay up all night
we may have to stay home all day
we´ve gotta find a way to make it right
or good love is gonna slip away
and, i´d get right down on my knees
to keep from losing you
when it comes to times like these
holding on is all we can do
