Lyrics I'm Still Holding On - Chris Rea

I'm Still Holding On

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)
