Holdin'
Diamond Rio
The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Parked down on lover's leap Steaming up his old heap Two lovers stare up at the stars Somewhere in the lights below Two houses all aglow Parents wondering where on earth they are 'Cause their folks have tried to tell them This is way too serious And while their mommas are waiting up they're Holdin', lovin', kissin', huggin' Come whatever may they keep Goin', dreamin', smilin', believin' That nothin' matters like this love they're holdin' A few years and some wedding vows A quarter-acre and a little white house More than they can well afford And those easy payments are getting tough All the overtime ain't enough Still they couldn't ask for more 'Cause that old hill that they've been climbin' Might be gettin' steep Oh, but they don't seem to mind it they keep Holdin', lovin', kissin', huggin' Come whatever may they keep Goin', dreamin', smilin', believin' That nothin' matters like this love they're holdin' As they rock their newborn baby fast asleep They know the most important lesson they can teach Keep on Holdin', lovin', kissin', huggin' Come whatever may they keep Goin, dreamin', smilin', believin' That nothing matters, like this love They're holdin', dreamin', goin', knowin', believin', Nothing matters like this love they're holdin' Just keep on holdin'
