The Marvelettes — Im Gonna Hold On As Long As I Can

Ooohh, time is runnin' out On this cold-hearted night, oh yeah And the whole world seems stopped around Without you by my side (yes it does) Oh, I realize I'm not the one you want But understand it you're the one I need So I'm gonna hold on as long as I can Hold tight as I can Hold on long as I can Hold on tight as I can Words don't come easy With these teardrops in my eyes, oh my And I, walkin' around in a stupor Just like a helpless child, yes I am Oh, I realize that things have changed But the sweet, sweet memories still remain I'm gonna hold on as long as I can (oh yes I am) Hey, hey, hey, hey! Hold on long as I can (Hold on long as I can) Yeah, every beat of my heart Keeps tellin' me to hold on Mmm Every day that we're apart is tellin' me to hold on Oh 'cause [?] on it [?] break of dawn I reach out to touch ya and I'm alone I look in the mirror, my eyes are red From crying all night long from the things you said 'Cause then I'm gonna... Hold on as long as I can, oh yes I am! (Hold on long as I can) I've got to, got to hold on as long as I can (Hold on long as I can) 'Cause I love ya [?] (Hold on long as I can) I know I've got to hold long, long, long, long as I can (Hold on long as I can) Oh yes I am!
