Lyrics 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 me the sooner or later I’ll keep holding on I’ll keep holding on Holding back the years Chance for me to escape from all I’ve known Holding back the tears Cause nothing here has grown I’ve wasted all my tears Wasted all those years And nothing had the chance to be good Nothing ever could yeah, oh I’ll keep holding on I’ll keep holding on I’ll keep holding on I’ll keep holding on So tight I’ve wasted all my tears Wasted all of 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 That’s all I have today It’s all I have to say #SimplyRed #HoldingBackTheYears #Montreux
