I'm Still Holding On - Chris Rea

How many times

Have I been here before?

Like a worn away piece of the night

Waiting for the dawn

Daylight breaks

And the dream is gone

Leaving me to stay

But I’m still holding on Yeah I’ll keep holding on I used to think I knew

Just exactly what it took

You move in, fast and hard

And you make your own luck

Daylight breaks

And the dream is gone

Leaving me to stay

But I keep holding on I see it bitter now

Smell the tears upon this track

It’s a long long way before it’s over

And what you give out

Is what you get back

The easy way out

It will bite you hard someday

You see me smile and learn

i find a better way

I’m still holding on Written and performed by Chris Rea (vocals, guitars)
