Lyrics Holdin' On to You - Brad Paisley

I′m holdin' on to you
When I close my eyes
You′re still in my arms
And we never said goodbye
It's all that I can do
To go on with my life
But that's supposed to be the reason why I′m here tonight
In a downtown restaurant
With a friend of a friend
Well, she sure likes to talk
And I ain′t heard a single word she's said
Oh, but every now and then I nod
And I pretend to pay attention
And I say things like, "uh huh"
And "yeah, you′re right" and "are you kidding?"
And I laugh when it seems
Like the right thing to do
It's hard to hold a conversation
Holding on to you
I′d give anything
Just to hear your voice
Or see you look at me and smile
Oh, but what I miss the most
Is holdin' on to you
′Cause here I am tonight
Starin' at a woman
Who's the last thing on my mind
Oh, but every now and then I nod
And I pretend to pay attention
And I say things like, "uh huh"
And "yeah, you′re right" and "are you kidding?"
And I laugh when it seems
Like the right thing to do
It′s hard to hold a conversation
It's hard to hold a conversation
Holdin′ on to you
When I close my eyes
You're still in my arms
And we never said goodbye
