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'
