Hold on Hold on to yourself For this is gonna hurt like hell Hold on Hold on to yourself You know that only time will tell What is it in me that refuses to believe? This isn't easier than the real thing My love, you know that you're my best friend You know I'd do anything for you My love, let nothing come between us My love for you is strong and true Am I in heaven here or am I--? At the crossroads I am standing So now you're sleeping peaceful I lie awake and pray You'll be strong tomorrow And will see another day And we will praise it And love the light that brings a smile across your face Oh God, if you're out there, won't you hear me? I know that we've never talked before Oh God, the man I love is leaving Won't you take him when he comes to your door Am I in heaven here or am I in hell? At the crossroads I am standing Now you're sleeping peaceful I lie awake and pray That you'll be strong tomorrow And will see another day And we will praise it And love the light that brings a smile Now you're sleeping peaceful I lie awake and pray That you'll be strong tomorrow And will see another day And we will praise it And love the light that brings a smile across your face Hold on Hold on to yourself For this is gonna hurt like hell
