Brad Paisley Holdin' On to You song lyrics

I'm holdin' on to you

When I close my eyes

You're still in my arms

And we never said goodbye

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 kidding?"

And I laugh when it seems

Like the right thing to do

It's hard to hold a conversation

Holding 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

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 kidding?"

And I laugh when it seems

Like the right thing to do

It's hard to hold a conversation

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
