Why Do I Hold On

Why Do I Hold On     

In my mind I thought I could wait forever more

Just to have you next to me

And though my heart, is like an open door

I know you’ll never be with me

I was a fool to think

A woman such as you 

Would give the time of day

To make my dreams come true

In my dreams I had this vision oh so clear

You and I would be as one

But every time I held you oh so near

You’d turn away from me and run

I was a fool to think

A woman with your charm

Would take a man like me

And hold me in your arms

Why do I hold on (Why do I hold on)

When I know the dream is gone

Why do I still try (Why do I still try)

When I know this dream has died

Why do I pretend

The day will ever come

When we will be together

Our hearts will be as one

In my mind I thought I could wait forever more

But now I’m running out of time

So now my heart is closing every door

Accepting the fact you’ll never be mine

I was a fool so long

I hope that in the end

My heart will open up

And I will love again

Why do I hold on (Why do I hold on)

When I know the dream is gone

Why do I still try (Why do I still try)

When I know this dream has died
