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

'Till The Heartache's Gone
Let the tears fall like rain
if that's what it takes
To wash away your memory
Let the hurt take it's time
I don't mind waiting
If that's the way it's gotta be
I'll keep holdin on
Till the heartache's gone
All the might have beens
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
Whoaaaaaa
I can make it through
The pain of losing you
That's the way it's gotta be
I'll keep holdin on
No matter how long
Till the heartache's gone

Same Old Story
While they dance
How she holds him
Pulls him close
And loves him so
While he dreams of another
And counts the days
Until he lets her go.
Same old story
That everybody knows
Its one heart holdin on
One letting go.
While they ride
Lord, he tells her
How they two
Will settle down
But she only hears the highway
And a voice
In some other town.
And the harder
He holds her
The more she slips away.
Same old story
That everybody knows
Its one heart holdin on
One letting go

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

Runnin Away With My Heart
(michael britt/sam hogin/wally wilson)
Hey buddy can you get me some faster wheels
I got a heartache nippin at my heels
Ill be hurtin if she gets a big head start
First that girl stole my attention
Not to mention all my affection
Now shes running away with my heart
I dont know where shes bound
But I aim to be there when the sun goes down
Do a little catchin up in the dark
When were out there under the moonlight
Even when Im holdin her tight
Shes running away with my heart
No dont tell me bout the speed limit
Ill go a million miles a minute
Till I run the wheels right off of this car
I know exactly what Id be losin
Thats why Im doin what Im doin
Shes running away with my heart
I dont know where shes bound
But I aim to be there when the sun goes down
Do a little catchin up in the dark
When were out there under the moonlight
Even when Im holdin her tight
Shes running away with my heart
Shes running away with my heart.

Is letting go a metaphor?
what is letting go -
letting go of grief?
the serenity of letting go?
(must be a bad metaphor)
losing represents letting go of control
I need to understand this 'letting go'
is it a metaphor for facing the inevitable?
breathing as a metaphor for living
'the practice of pruning wine vines'
is that a metaphor for letting go?
surrender. reaching towards the future
if you'll excuse another bad metaphor...
'the last of the sand is pouring...'
onion metaphors are stripped down to the core
letting go is a metaphor for acceptance
is acceptance a metaphor for failure?
'The freedom of letting go'
that does sound grand
letting go is not for the faint-hearted
my hands and heart are tired from letting go
so many times over
examine why metaphor is not
a substitute for the literal
letting go is
a metaphor
for goodbye

Letting Go Today
today i am letting go of all the pain
today i am letting go of everything
and after today i will leave here knowing that you did love me
and i believe that things will change
all the things that were left unsaid
all the things we never did
i am letting go today
mom i am letting you go today
i understand that i have made some mistakes
some which i am still paying for today
but i am ready for change. it takes two to fight
and i refuse to fight anymore after today
dad i am letting go today
you gave me the best seven months of ma life
you showed me that everyone is not the same
and have different ways with dealing with things
i hurt you but i am letting all that go today
all the lies and the tears in ma eyes
tory i am letting go today
i was confused
had noone in the world to tell me what to do
i have so much pain and hate but im letting all that go today
i am humen and i dont always have the answer for everthing
i am tryen but i need to try harder.
so i am letting maself go today
all the hurt all the pain
i promise you i am letting it all go today

Im Still Dancin With You
(chick rains/wade hayes)
Im sittin here surrounded by people I know
The beers cold and the musics good and loud
That used to be enough to put a smile on my face
But tonight I just feel lost in this crowd
Theres a brunette on the dance floor
That smiled a time or two
So I got up and asked her for a dance
But when she put her arms around me
And I held her I knew
It was just too soon to take another chance
cause Im still dancin with you
I know we said we were through
But I keep holdin on
Letting go is just too hard to do
Even when Im holding someone new
Im still dancin with you
When the song was over, I held on a little longer
Deep inside I knew that it was wrong
I could hold her in my arms for the rest of the night
But Id just be leading her on
cause Im still dancin with you
I know we said we were through
But I keep holdin on
Letting go is just too hard to do
Even when Im holding someone new
Im still dancin with you
Even when Im holding someone new
Im still dancin with you

Down n Dirty
Slow talkin, the line youre walkin
Look like a viper wearin silkin stockings
You make em guess theyd be gettin the best
Cant help but wonder if youd pass the test
Kissin my fingers, you touch my face
n play your hand like youre holdin the ace
But baby when it comes around, are you gonna pick it up or lay it down
You make it harder and harder to stop what youve started
Chorus:
(down n dirty)
Oh my little rosalee, dont you think its goin on time we see
If youre gonna come with me, I bet you, I get you
Ive had enough of this comin on stuff
I feel like gettin down on somethin tough
I do believe youre what youre tryin to be
Now show me, honey, cause Im dying to see
Take it baby, make your play, well make love in different ways
I call your bluff and stand, pretty mama, hold me in your hand
And make it harder and harder to stop what youve started
Chorus

Kissin my fingers, you touch my face

Why Worry
I worry, I wonder all the time why worry
Its killing me, forget about it
I whisper, remember what she did
Dont miss her
Set me free, she wont allow it
Angry and gone, and the list goes on and on
Now Im letting up, I should be the one whos letting go
Shes lonely, shes scared, Im relationship impaired
If its love, I will differ, Im being lost being with her
I cant move on, I cant take it
She, she says we wont ma-a-ake it now
I cant move on, I cant take it
She, she says we wont ma-a-ake it now
Be-lieving, the things I did were wrong
Im leaving
It fades a-way, forget about it
Shes binding, cant do a thing alone
Rewinding
Times before, cant live without it
I dont know
But you did but you did ut yo-ou did
Please dont go
Now my feelings for you theyre now lost
cause were through anymore
Ill write you , Ill call you
Now

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

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

Shes Up, Shes Down
Its easier to fall
When theres someone there to break it
Its easy to abuse
When theres someone there to take it
Its easier to smile
When you know that you can fake it
Confronted all the while with everything that youve forsaken
And the hardest thing to do
Is letting go of you
Three weeks and seven days...
Shes up, shes down, Im all around - on my way down
Shes up, shes down, Im on my way out
Shes up, shes down, Im on the ground
Im all around
On my way out
Shes up, shes down, Im all around
Around, around
Its easier to cry
When theres someone there to hold you
Who hasnt had a chance to know
The bitter and the cold you
Its easier to lie
When theres no one there to scold you
Systematically discarding everyone who knows you
And the hardest thing to do
Is letting go of you
Three weeks and seven days...
Shes up, shes down, Im all around - on my way down
Shes up, shes down, Im on my way out
Shes up, shes down Im on the ground
Im all around
On my way out
Shes up, shes down, Im all around
Around - around

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

Gone As A Girl Can Get
Well I havent seen her lately
And she never calls
She dont ask my friends about me
Gives no clues at all
That a fire might still be burnin, yeah
Id say shes about as gone as a girl can get
She dont even show up in my dreams at night
But my stubborn old memory keeps holdin on tight
Sure makes it hard to forget
Shes about as gone as a girl can get
Chorus:
Shes out of here
She disappeared without a trace
More or less unimpressed
By the tears on my face
Destination unknown
She just dropped out of sight
Last seen headin right on out of my life
Like a stranger I aint never met
Shes about as gone as a girl can get
Repeat chorus
Like a stranger I aint never met
Well Id say shes about as gone as a girl can get

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

One More Sad Song
One boy, one girl, two hearts, their world
Time goes by, secrets rise
One more, sad song, tears shed, shes gone
Shed take it back, if she only could
All the perfect words they seem so wrong,
Shes gone
You wish that you could learn to see,
The door is closed and yo wish you could be
Alone with you, alone with me
What can I do, I can not breath
My heart is torn, for all to see
Alone with you, alone with me.
Best friend, worst thing, shes been, cheating
Friend deceives, she leaves
Last date. she cries, whispers, goodbye
She walks once more, out that door
Please stay, dont go away
The hardest thing is letting go of you
Stay, dont go away
The hardest thing is letting go of you
What can I do?
Alone with you, alone with me, what can I do
I can not see, alone with, alone with...

Do You Remember The Time
Do you remember the time your heart was moved to tears?
Can you look back on the moment after all these years?
On the moment love broke through and heaven seemed so near
Do you remember the time your heart was moved to tears?
Do you remember the day you first let Jesus in?
How he gently and tenderly washed away your sin
Don't you know that He still cares the way He did back then?
Do you remember the day you first let Jesus in?
Keep holdin' on
Never letting go
We're not far
from the end of the road
Keep holdin' on
Never letting go
We're not far
from the end of the road
In a moment love broke through and heaven seemed so near
Do you remember the moment your heart was moved to tears?
Do you remember the time your heart was moved to tears?
