Lyrics Hold On Tight (2013 Remastered) - Archie Roach

One, two, three

Don't take love for granted
It's not there all the time
The party's all over
And you're drunk all the way
And she doesn't feel the different
She feels just the same
As she did all the day
She accepted your name

Better hold on tight (hold on tight)
She loves you and you love her, you know
Then love her right
Or the day will come when she will go

Pure love and affection
Feel like an offense
Or a stranger outside
You don't want to let in
But can you say, "I love you"
Without any pretense?
I feel like a neighbor
Talking over the fence

Better hold on tight (hold on tight)
She loves you, you love her you know
Then love her right
Or the day will come when she will go

Like the sun sinking into the ocean
She's gone and she lives in slow motion
Living in cans and hue
And the rain, that falls on the edge of the desert
And my feathers bloom for a moment
Leaving the sweetest perfume

Pure love and affection
Feel like an offense
Or a stranger outside
You don't want to let in
But can you say, "I love you"
Without any pretense
I feel like a neighbor
Talking over the fence

Better hold on tight
She loves you and you love her, you know
Then love her right
Or the day will come when she will go
