Hanging On (Tom's Song) Lyrics

was six years old
When I heard the news that you
You had gone
Gone away and you're never coming back
My mom sat me down and began to cry
And said, "boy, oh my boy, this is gonna hurt."
This is gonna tear your little heart
And I said to her,
"If I can't lift him up, I wont leave him hanging on to me.
If I can't lift him up, I won't leave him hanging on to me."
You better believe.
Do you still dream of her as she dreams of you each night?
You hover over her bed and she reached to pull you in
She says that when we, when we go that we won't change
We just float from time to town, well I have one thing left to say

If I can't lift you up, I won't leave you hanging on to me
If I can't lift you up, I won't leave you hanging on to me

You're already moving on in your mind
So you can do the things you need to do
And even though you're leaving me behind
I'll still smile when I think of you
26 years old, your memory's a melody that haunts me in my sleep
26 years old, and I have one thing left to keep, and that I give to you.
If I can't lift you up I won't leave you hanging on to me.
You better believe.
