I'm Gonna Hold On As Long As I Can(U.K. Album Version) - The Marvelettes

作词：Frank Wilson/Lena Manns

作曲：Frank Wilson/Lena Manns

Ooo time is runnin' out on this poor heart of mine oh yeah

And the whole world seems dark around me

Without you by my side yes it does

Oh I realize I'm not the one you want

But understanding for the one I need

So I'm gonna hold on as long as I can

Hold on as tight as I can

Oh hold on as long as I can hold on as tight as I can

Words don't come easy with these teardops in my eyes oh no

I've walked around in a circle just like a helpless child

Yes I have

Oh I realize that things have changed

But the sweet sweet memory still remains

So I'm gonna hold on as long as I can

Hold on as tight as I can

Hold on as tight as I can

Every beat of my heart keeps tellin' me to hold on

Every day that we're apart is tellin' me to hold on

Oh 'cause every mornin' right at the break of dawn

I reach out to touch you but now you're gone

I look in my mirror operator

I've cried all night long from the things you did

Cause I'm gonna hold on as long as I can oh yes I am

Hold on as tight as I can

I'm gonna gonna hold on as long as I can

'Cause I love you

I know I'm gonna hold on as long as I can

Oh yes I am
