(lari white/chuck cannon)

There's a chill hanging in the air
We've been silent all night long
I'm lying here, you're way over there
Pretending there ain't nothing wrong
Ain't there something I can say, something you can do
Something's getting in the way, baby
We can't let it tear us in two

You've got to hold on to me and I'll hold on to you
We've got to hold on to each other
You know, next to love there ain't nothing worth holding onto

So, baby, hold on to me and I'll hold on to you
We might have to stay up all night
We may have to stay home all day
We've gotta find a way to make it right
Or good love is gonna slip away
And, I'd get right down on my knees
To keep from losing you
When it comes to times like these
Holding on is all we can do
