You and I were lovers For me it was a first I didn't know how dry I was Until you satisfied my thirst We grew up together Then we grew apart But through the years Beyond the tears The heart holds on Long after goodbye The heart holds on It don't need a reason why When two souls truly touch And dare to feel this much It's never gone The heart holds on I hide it when I see you I'm steady as a rock But there's a part of me That dreams of turning back the clock But I don't make a habit Of living in the past My mind says no I must let go But the heart holds on Long after goodbye The heart holds on It don't need a reason why When two souls truly touch And dare to feel this much It's never gone The heart holds on I might not talk about you Or ever mention your name But wrong or right You're apart of my life And that ain't going to change 'Cause the heart holds on Long after goodbye The heart holds on It don't need a reason why When two souls truly touch And dare to feel this much It's never gone The heart holds on
