Holding Back The Years Lyrics - All The Way - Etta James

Holding back the years 

Thinking of the fear I've had so long 

When somebody hears 

Listen to the fear that's gone 

Strangled by the wishes of pater 

Hoping for the arm of mater 

Get to me sooner or later 

Nothing ever could, yeah 

I'll keep holding on 

(I'll keep holding on) 

I'll keep holding on 

(Keep holding on) 

I'll keep holding on 

(Never let you go away) 

I'll keep holding on
