Holding Back The Years Lyrics - Picture Book - Simply Red

Holding back the years... 

Thinking of the fear I've had so long 

When somebody hears... 

Listen to the fear that's gone... 

Strangled by the wishes of pater 

Hoping for the arms of mater 

Get to neither sooner or later... 

Oh-oh-oh 

Holding back the years 

Chance for me escape from all I know 

Holding back the tears... 

Cause nothing here has grown... 

I've wasted all my tears 

Wasted all those years 

Nothing had the chance to be good 

Nothing ever could y-e-a-h... 

Oh-oh-oh 

I'll keep holding on 

I'll keep holding on 

I'll keep holding on 

I'll keep holding on... 

So tired 

Alright oh now 

Well I've wasted all my tears 

Wasted all those years 

And nothing had the chance to be... good... 

Cause nothing ever could 

Oh yeah oh... 

I'll keep holding on 

I'll keep holding on 

I'll keep holding on 

I'll keep holding on 

Holding holding holding 

A-a-a-h... va-la-la-la-la-la-la-la la 

I said ooh yeah 

That's all I have today 

It's all I have to say 

That's all I have today 

It's all I have to say...
