Holding on
And counting every hour you are gone
It's hard to face it
But girl I know with you is where I belong
When I picture you alone
Then I know that I'm a fool
I'm the one you want to lean on
But what am I to do
Once in my life I'm sorry to say
Once in my life I just can't find the way
For us to discover what this love could be
To share with each other what both of us need
You get colder
When moments that we spend are not enough
You say that you need me
That I'm the only one you're thinking of
Well it aches my very soul
When you think of me as cruel
And to leave you with a broken heart
I'd never want to do
Once in my life I'm sorry to say
Once in my life I just can't find the way
For us to discover what this love could be
To have one another and let us be free
Chorus
And counting every hour you are gone
It's hard to face it
But girl I know with you is where I belong
When I picture you alone
Then I know that I'm a fool
I'm the one you want to lean on
But what am I to do
Once in my life I'm sorry to say
Once in my life I just can't find the way
For us to discover what this love could be
To share with each other what both of us need
You get colder
When moments that we spend are not enough
You say that you need me
That I'm the only one you're thinking of
Well it aches my very soul
When you think of me as cruel
And to leave you with a broken heart
I'd never want to do
Once in my life I'm sorry to say
Once in my life I just can't find the way
For us to discover what this love could be
To have one another and let us be free
Chorus
