I´m holdin´ onto you
When I close my eyes
You´re still in my arms
And we never said goodbye
And 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
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 kiddin´´
And I laugh when it seems
Like the right thing to do
It´s hard to hold a conversation
Holdin´ 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´ onto you
`Cause here I am tonight
Staring 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 kiddin´´
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
