Ooh-ooh, yeah, hey-hey-hey
That special night, the star shines bright
Upon the season of good cheer
I pour a drink, put out the lights
It's not the same cause your not here
Still hang a stocking on the wall
Just for the kids, not you, no
These days you've got to hold on to love
Show me how to hold on to love
That special night, a star shines bright
Upon the season of good cheer
I raise my glass and toast the past
To absent friends, wish you were here
Did your mama tell ya bout the old songs?
The colder times when we were so young
These days you've got to hold on to love
Show me how to hold on to love
These days you've got to hold on to love
These days you've got to hold on to love
Hold on, hold on
Even when all your hope is gone
You've got to hold on to love
Hold on, hold on
Have to find the strength to carry on
You've got to hold on to love
That special night, the star shines bright
Upon the season of good cheer
I pour a drink, put out the lights
It's not the same cause your not here
Still hang a stocking on the wall
Just for the kids, not you, no
These days you've got to hold on to love
Show me how to hold on to love
That special night, a star shines bright
Upon the season of good cheer
I raise my glass and toast the past
To absent friends, wish you were here
Did your mama tell ya bout the old songs?
The colder times when we were so young
These days you've got to hold on to love
Show me how to hold on to love
These days you've got to hold on to love
These days you've got to hold on to love
Hold on, hold on
Even when all your hope is gone
You've got to hold on to love
Hold on, hold on
Have to find the strength to carry on
You've got to hold on to love
