About Holding On

"Holding On" is a ballad by British singer Beverley Craven. The song was released as the album's fourth single in late 1990. This was Craven's first entry in the UK charts, peaking at a low #95 in February 1991. After the success of "Promise Me" in May 1991, "Holding On" was re-released as the follow-up single in July 1991, peaking at #32. The song also hit some European charts, and was also Craven's sole chart entry in the USA charts. "Holding On" was one of three songs Craven recorded first with producer Stewart Levine in America. Not liking the final result, she went on to work with Paul Samwell-Smith, who produced her debut album. Levine's productions of her songs, however, were released as b-sides to her singles, under the label "West Coast Version".

I'm losing control of my emotions
You've got this hold on my heart
I've never known what we are feeling
You never took me so far

I can't find the words
Is this love?
Tell me I've found you
Is this love?

Say that you'll always keep
Holding on
Keep holding on
'Cause your love's got a hold on me

Holding on
Keep holding on
Yeah...
I'm losing my mind dreaming about you

Still as you sleep by my side
Kiss me awake, whisper Good Morning
Say what you said one more time
'Cause I need to know

Is this love?
Tell me I've found you
Is this love?
Say that you'll always keep

Holding on
Keep holding on
'Cause your love's got a hold on me
Holding on

Keep holding on
Yeah...
Is this love?
Tell me I've found you

Is this love?
Say that you'll always keep
Holding on
Keep holding on

'Cause your love's got a hold on me
Holding on
Keep holding on
Yeah...
