Hold On To My Love (Remastered) Lyrics
Jimmy Ruffin
Lyrics
Today, you came by, to tell me you are leaving me, and to say, that
the love, and all that we knew had just drifted away. And I look, in
your eyes, and I couldn't bare the pain I felt inside, of my heart. To
think I'm gonna be lonley again, and if e-ever, then I know at a glance
that I don't stand a chance.
Hold on, to my love, I'm nothing, and I can't get along without you.
Your the light of my life. There no living without (your love).
It's so hard, to believe, that your going away could make me feel so
down. Cause I know, that from this moment on I won't have you
around. And if e-ever you go, then I know at a glance that I won't
stand a chance.
So hold on, to my love, I'm nothing, and I can't get along without
you. Your the light of my life. There no living without (your love).
Ooooh, oh baby, nobody's taking you place. But for you, but for me,
our love would live on for the whole world to see.
So hold on, to my love, I'm nothing, and I can't get along without
you. Your the light of my life. There no living without your love. No,
no, no, no, Hey. Whooo
Honey hold on (hold on), to my love (my love), I'm nothing (hold on)
and I can't get along without you (hold on). Your the light, your the
light, of my life (my life). Theres no living without (your love. Hold on,
to my love). Hold on, cause I'm nothin girl, and I can't get along
without you, you, your the light of my life (my life). And I just can't live
without you.
