Holding
Im standing here and hoping for you
Holding my door open for you now
Ask just what you will of me
Ill bend just like a willow tree
And now Im holdin
Holdin my door open to the wind
Well seven times she came to me
And each time seemed the same to me
She knows just what to ask me now
And I cant help but wonder how
And now Im holdin
Holdin my door open before the wind
I wrote my name upon the sands
With questioningly weary hands
The tide arose and answered me
And washed my name into the sea
And now Im holdin
Holdin my door open before the wind

Roll Like The River
(lovett/peacock/clyne)
I see the birds up in the sky
They can fly so high, then why cant i
I see the fishes in the sea
And they just swim so free and laugh at me
Now I can run as fast as anyone
And no one follows me
Can you imagine anybody so free?
I got no secrets in my head
I got no books to read that must be read
I wonder down the water way
I left my cares and troubles yesterday
I got no need to be ahurrin
And no ones pushin me
And nothing ever gets to worrin me
And Ill just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
And Ill just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
I see new opens to the sun
And theres no door to close to anyone
Who makes rivers down my face
And Ill leave each one to find its place
I got no need to be ahurrin
And no ones pushin me
And nothing ever gets to worrin me
And Ill just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
And Ill just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
And Ill just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
And Ill just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
Roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
And Ill just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
Roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
And Ill just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me

Holdin Out For Love
Had my share of disco nights
Did some talking, rainbow lights
Easy smile shines like gold
Burning hot and turning cold
Live that kind of life before
Lost the note to learn the score
Something tells me that
There must be something more
Chorus:
This time Im holdin out for love
Made up my mind
Im holdin out for love
Mister this time
Im holdin on, holdin back
Holdin out for love
Had my fill of party scenes
One night stands and neon dreams
Good times friends and fancy clothes
Flashing highs and crashing lows
So if thats whats on your mind
Well Ill just take a pass this time
I believe I rather leave it all behind
Chorus
I need to find someone
Wholl still be holding me
When the dance is done
Chorus x 3

Holdin On To Something
(tom shapiro/thom mchugh)
Theres a little girl
Wanna make her mine
What she wants I dont know
If red means stop
An green means go
Her light is always yellow
Im wrapped around her finger
Shes slipping through my hands
Every time I think I got her
I gotta think again...im
Holdin on to something
That keeps letting me go
Just a whole lotta heartache
At the end of my rope
I fall a little harder every time I drop
But I keep reaching cause I cant stop
Holdin on to something that keeps letting me go
She calls me on the phone
Says shes all alone
Felling kinda lonely
Says she cant wait
So dont be late
I promise her I wont be
Ten minutes later Im standing at her door
Shes saying, never mind, I aint lonely anymore...im
Holdin on to something
That keeps letting me go
Just a whole lotta heartache
At the end of my rope
I fall a little harder every time I drop
But I keep reaching cause I cant stop
Holdin on to something that keeps letting me go
I fall a little harder every time I drop
But I keep reaching cause I cant stop
Holdin on to something that keeps letting me go
Just a whole lotta heartache
At the end of my rope
Holdin on to something
That keeps letting me go

It Was So Easy
(carly simon/jacob brackman)
I remember a time, rompin through the woods
Sun against our skin instead of clothes
When we felt hungry we would eat, whn we felt glad we would dance
And whenever we felt drowsy we would doze
It was so easy then never takin any stands
It was so easy then, holdin hands
I remember a time when our fears could be named
And courage meant not refusing dares
I remember when we took such cares to step never on the cracks,
No only on the squares
Or else wed be abducted by the bears
It was so easy then never makin any plans
It was so easy then, holdin hands
It was so easy then never makin any plans
It was so easy then, holdin hands
And now we are grown, with debts and regrets
And broken hearts and sentimental schemes
Now every tender failure seems to overthrow old dreams
Love can lead a normal woman to extremes
It was so easy once, holdin hands without a plan
It was so easy once holdin hands
Just holdin hands

A Flame For You
(d. deviller/s. hosein/c. russell)
Think about you evry minute
Dream about you evry hour of the day
Close my eyes, and I think of your kiss
Well thats all that Ive got
When youre so far away
It took some tears to let you
Thought that time would never heal me
You left my life, without a sound
After all weve been through
I still want you near me
Refrain:
A flame for you still burns
And so Im savin my love for you
A flame for you still burns
And Im holdin on
Yes. Im holdin on
Still in love with you (hey)
Remember how you get to safe and walk (ohh)
We built our life for two, oh
Guess I didnt recognize the signs
Coz I was lost in love
Lost in love with you
(repeat refrain)
Every once in a while
You find a love
That slips right through your hands
Gonna do my very best
To get you back again
A flame for you still burns
And so Im savin my love for you
(savin all my love for you)
A flame for you still burns (hey)
And Im holdin on
Yes, Im holdin on
Still in love with you
A flame for you still burns (hey, baby)
And so Im savin my love for you (savin all my love for you)
A falme for you still burn (still burn)
And Im holdin on
Yes, Im holdin on
Still in love with you
A flame for you still burns (hey)
And so Im savin my love for you (savin all my love for you)
A flame for you still burns
And Im holdin on
Yes, Im holdin on
Still in love with you
A flame for you still burns

Oh baby, you know I may be a fool
Im wastin my time by goin to school
The way you got me holdin your door
I cant do my homework anymore
I cant do my homework anymore
Oh baby, I said you got me so blind
Im walkin round in circles, I could loose my mind
The way you got me holdin your door
I cant do my homework anymore
Now baby your as sweet as you can be
Everything you do keep on sending me
Just the kiss of your lips or the touch of your hand
Everything you do is really grand
Oh baby, oh, now what can I do
Im walkin round in circles in love with you
The way you got me holdin your door
I cant do my homework anymore
Now baby your as sweet as you can be
Everything you do keep on sending me
Just the kiss of your lips or the touch of your hand
Everything you do is really grand
Oh baby, oh, now what can I do

Speakin Out
I went to the movie the other night,
The plot was groovy, it was out of sight.
I sat with my popcorn, out lookin for good times
Lost in the cartoon, I grabbed the lifeline.
Ive been a searcher, Ive been a fool,
But Ive been a long time comin to you.
Im hopin for your love to carry me through
Youre holdin my baby, and Im holdin you,
And its all right.
Oh, tell me where the answer lies.
Is it in the notebook behind your eyes?
When your decision comes to view,
Ill be watchin my tv, and itll be watchin you.
Ive been a searcher, Ive been a fool,
But Ive been a long time comin to you.
Im hopin for your love to carry me through
Youre holdin my baby, and Im holdin you,
Yes I am.
Speakin out.

Im Holding You
Im flyin (flyin)
In a frame of my mind that time cannot erase
Im seein (seein)
The future, the past as I lay the present to waste
Im scopin (scopin)
All these feelings I have and hopin for them to come true
And Im holdin something more precious than fine ore, baby
Im holdin you
Im breathin (breathin)
The fumes of the grid that rid my lobe of oxygen
Im climbin (climbin)
The walls to where good and evil make amends
Im trippin, writhin and squealin, pukin
Looking for someone like you
And Im holdin something more precious than fine ore, baby
Im holdin you
Im flyin (flyin)
In a frame of my mind that time cannot erase
Im seein (seein)
The future, the past as I lay the present to waste

Holdin
(kelly garrett/craig wiseman)
Parked down on lovers leap
Steaming up his old heap
Two lovers stare up at the stars
Somewhere in the lights below
Two houses all aglow
Parents wondering where on earth they are
cause their folks have tried to tell them
This is way too serious
And while their mommas are waiting up theyre
Holdin, lovin, kissin, huggin
Come whatever may they keep
Goin, dreamin, smilin, believin
That nothin matters like this love theyre holdin
A few years and some wedding vows
A quarter-acre and a little white house
More than they can well afford
And those easy payments are getting tough
All the overtime aint enough
Still they couldnt ask for more
cause that old hill that theyve been climbin
Might be gettin steep
Oh, but they dont seem to mind it they keep
Holdin, lovin, kissin, huggin
Come whatever may they keep
Goin, dreamin, smilin, believin
That nothin matters like this love theyre holdin
As they rock their newborn baby fast asleep
They know the most important lesson they can teach
Keep on
Holdin, lovin, kissin, huggin
Come whatever may they keep
Goin, dreamin, smilin, believin
That nothing matters, like this love
Theyre holdin, dreamin, goin, knowin, believin,
Nothing matters like this love theyre holdin
Just keep on holdin

Still Holding On
There's something out there left for you
But it's not me
We've reached a point of no return
It's only right I set you free
I know I'll have to turn away
But there's nowhere for my love to go
And there won't come a day
When I won't honor what we've vowed
But I'll go on with my life
We can even say goodbye for now if
If that's what we have to do
But here in my heart
When my arms are empty darlin'
I'm still holdin' on to you
We can't deny that this one's
Out of our control
Stronger than the both of us
And bound to take its toll
I can stand the test of time
And as far as I can see
There are no walls that we can't climb
Standin' between you and me
But I'll go on with my life
We can even say goodbye for now if
If that's what we have to do
But here in my heart
When my arms are empty darlin'
I'm still holdin' on to you
And there's a place you'll always be
No matter where you are
You're here with me
When the world is turning upside down
Together we can stand our ground
We can even say goodbye for now if
If that's what we have to do
But here in my heart
Even when my arms are empty darlin'
I'm still holdin' on to you
I'm still holdin' on to you

Holdin On To You
There are those whod love to love me
Take me home and take care of me
Treat me just the way you never do
But Im here on your door step
Something I cant seem to help
Like a fool, Im holdin on to you
Chorus:
Oh, you dont love me, you dont love me
You place everything above me
Like a fool, Im holdin on to you
You dont want me, you dont want me
You just hurt and disappoint me
Like a fool, Im holding on to, ooh, ooh
Like a fool, Im holding on to you
What is this spell thats on me
Make me think you own me
Why do I keep holding on to you
I just cant shake the feeling
I only know its real
And I keep holding, holding, holding on to you

I Am Fred Astaire
I'm under the assumption
that I'm gonna be the one thats leaving you
tonight, tonight...
Well I flipped every switch
that I could find on my way out just to upset you more
(just to keep you busy) just to make you angry (just because you were right) just because you were...
All tired scream safe haven,
Let's get this out and on the table...
Fast forward to say four o'clock,
I'm keeping time, I'm holdin', we're always holdin',
(we're always holdin), we're always holdin, holding out...
And that's what got us here in the first place,
you should have never come here alone
(you should have never bothered at all), bothered at all...
Scream older and wiser, still filled with resentment
We get it, we get it...Oh (I haven't been happier since)
Older and wiser, still filled with resentment
We get it, we get it...Oh, Bree Ann (I haven't been happier since, I haven't been happier, not since.)
Well five o'clock the floor caught fire with footsteps (my footsteps)
And spread like a disease to the door
(I'm stuttering through it but I hear it) I-I-I hear its good t-t-to stick to what you know
And you know a whole lot of this, it all could have been avoided when
you were courtside for this nightmare,
Well since then I got myself come and listen...
Older and wiser, still filled with resentment
We get it, we get it...Oh (I haven't been happier since)
Older and wiser, still filled with resentment
We get it, we get it...Oh, Bree Ann (I haven't been happier since)
I haven't been happier since (Bree Ann)
I haven't been happier since (Bree Ann)
I haven't been happier since (Bree Ann)
I haven't been happier not since...
Well, it used to take so much more (I used to, I used to too)
It used to take so much more (I used to, I used to too)
I used to, I used to too...

Leavin The Top 40 Behind
Here comes another day
And another
I got so many ills and pills
Im about to smother
Hit 39, leavin the top 40 behind
Holdin on to what I got
I tried to tell myself
It doesnt matter
Its just the time of life
Another rung in the ladder
Each morning i
Look in her sky-blue eyes
The downside of life looks better
That old man standin on the corner
He should be proud of those lines on his face
cos either hes been laughin too much
Or feelin too much pain
Here comes another day
And another
I sure am glad
I got you for a lover
Hit 39, leavin the top 40 behind
Holdin on to what I got
That old man standin on the corner
He should be proud of those lines on his face
cos either hes been smilin too much
Or feelin too much pain
Here comes another day
And another
I sure am glad
I got you for a lover
Hit 39, Im leavin the top 40 behind
Holdin on to what I got
Hit 39, leavin the top 40 behind
Holdin on to what I got

The feelin now that Im beside you
Well open the door
Do anything that we decide to
And I know that theres something thats just out of sight
And I feel like Im finally seeing the light
Holdin on girl I know its right

Were ready!
You and i
Well find a reason
To simplify a change of season
And I feel like its time we were off on our way
We can go so much farther than weve come today
Holdin on girl and come what may
Come what may
Were ready! cmon
We can find a way
Were ready now
Catchin a wave to ride on
Steady now
Headin where we decide on
And I know that theres something thats just out of sight
And I feel like were trying to do something right
Come on make it if we hold on tight
Hold on tight

To wash away your memory

If that's the way it's gotta be

And the never will be's
They could never take your place
But they're all that's left
And all that ever mattered to me
And they fill this empty space
I'll keep holdin on
Till the heartache's gone
I'll make believe you still love me
Till the heartache is gone
I'll pretend you still care
Till the heartache is gone
You'll always be here
Till the heartache is gone

The pain of losing you
That's the way it's gotta be

Turning Around
By: jimmy buffett
Sometimes I feel like a propeller
Spin spin out of control
I dont know whos up on the throttle
Oh I wish theyd let it go.
All I ever do is get dizzy
Thinkin thinkin things left undone
Been stuck here so long now Im zero
Id just like to make it to one
Chorus:
Turnin around
Heros and clown(s)
Holdin my ground
Oh Ive been down
Im turnin around
Turnin around
Lost til were found
Holdin our ground
Oh Ive been down
Im turnin around
Sometimes I get lost in daydreamin
Sleep sleep my life away
I know in my heart Im a sailor
And my ship is on the way
There never is an end to believers
Lookin lookin for the right sign
If everything will just keep on turnin
All that I want will be mine.
Chorus:
Turning around
Heros and clown(s)
Holdin my ground
Oh Ive been down
Im turnin around
Turnin around
Lost til were found
Holdin our ground
Oh Ive been down

Holdin On
Walkin through time
Reachin for yesterday
cause were frightened of tomorrow
Trying to find
The feeling thats gone astray, far away
I remember the look in your eyes
Love we made unafraid
Now weve opened the window
So lets not close the shade
(chorus)
Holdin on
cause the memory of you
Is something I just cant erase
Holdin on
I dont know what to do
cause the pieces wont fit into place
But no matter what happens
We cant let it end this way
So far away
So close to something new
But were holdin off tomorrow
Maybe someday
Well find what we need to do, until then
Well be doing the best that we can
Out of rhyme, out of time
While were hiding our feelings
Were leaving love behind
(chorus)
Far away
Reachin for yesterday
So far away
Something has gone away
So afraid
To find what we had

Holding On
Lost, lost like a precious flame
The ashes burn on
The ghost of a love we had
Tries to hold on, tries to hold on
No communication
All systems are down
No new conversation
Never a sound, never a sound
Whats the point in holdin on
When the spirit is gone, holdin on
Whats the point in holdin on
When the spirit is gone
Cold, cold as the empty night
Deep in your eyes
I know theres no truth, no light
Only your lies, only your lies
The circles broken
The damage is done
The crystal lies
Smashed on the floor
Your presence has left me now
Your spirit has gone
The ghost of a love we had
Tries to hold on, tries to hold on
The circles broken
The damage is done
So whats the point in holdin on
