From the recording The Women All Were Dancing
A duet. A couple. Vocal blend of Amanda Jackson and Tim MacPherson (just friends).
Lyrics
Hold on to me like dancers used to do
look in my eyes until I’m seeing you
speak to me about your new ideas
share a secret dream with me
There’s no time off when you work for yourself
all day Long I’m how can I help
my face is aching from the strain
I may never smile again
Hold on to me like lovers on the screen
we’re still the way we’ve always been
the lovers that we were are memories
no one remembers that but you or me
If I have one drink then I’ll have to have more
I’ve been that way since before I was born
got to keep my reputation it’s all that I’ve got
dive to the bottom, float to the top
If I can’t be happy I may as well die
but I love too much to say good bye
I have brothers and sisters kids and a wife
you save my life, you save my life
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
The say things are different now, times have changed
y’all understand it’s the same old same
got to keep your eyes open, stay relaxed
there’s no goin’ forward and there’s no goin’ back
