Holdin' On Lyrics - Connie Smith

Holdin' on barely holdin' on I know if I led off you'll be gone 

------ that's holdin' you here and I'm just barely barely holdin' on 

I never will forget that feelin' you said love is gone you were leavin' 

The hand on the clock is going around and I was in the water going down 

Holdin' on barely holdin' on... 

[ steel ] 

Now every hour brings you closer to goin' and I already feel the hurt of growin' 

You're gonna leave that mighty lonely girl 

How much longer can I hold you in my world 

Cause I'm just holdin' on... 

Yeah I'm just barely barely holdin' on
