Al Green Hold On Forever song lyrics

Hold on forever, hold on forever

'Til I can get everything in place

Well, hold on forever, hold on forever

'Til I can see my shapeless face

I've got to smile on forever

Smile 'cause there's a me for you to joy

That's a smile, smile, smile

Well, this song is for every girl and boy

I've had good times, I've had bad times

I haven't had enough

I have my ups and down, I've been turned around

I haven't given up

Don't you know everybody have to walk the line?

I have had to do my time, it's a shame my song's for free

And everybody knows that's the way it goes

The Lord is watching over me

I think I really better hold on forever, hold on forever

'Cause there's a smile I'd like to wear

I'll hold on forever, hold on forever

'Cause, 'cause there's some joy I've got to share

I wanna thank somebody [Incomprehensible]

That may keep on holding on

That may keep on holding on [Incomprehensible]

I keep holding on, I keep holding on

I keep on holding on, I keep seeing face

Nothing in the world can take this face

I, I, I keep holding, I'm holding

I'm holding, I'm holding, I'm holding
