Never thought you'd ever leave me
But I was wrong, I was wrong
Maybe if I'd seen it sooner
When I was strong, when I was strong
I could've lifted you up, could've shown you the light
But I was too far gone in my own right
I'll hold on to your memory
I'll hold on to the love you leave behind
I'll hold on to your beauty and grace
I'll fight through the pain and hold on
You never asked anything of me
But for love, but for love
And if not for your mother
You'd be here, here with me
But the years, they go by
A picture lost in time
And I know somehow I gotta keep moving
I'll hold on to your memory
I'll hold on to the love you leave behind
I'll hold on to your beauty and grace
I'll fight through the pain and hold on
Cause for you I stay strong
For you I stand tall
For you I'll hold on
For you I'll hold on
I'll hold on to your memory
I'll hold on, I'll hold on
I'll hold on to your memory
I'll hold on to the love you leave behind
I'll hold on to your beauty and grace
I'll fight through the pain
Through the wind and the rain
Through the anger and shame I'll hold on
Yeah, yeah yeah
