Lyrics:

I once held that someone special, didnt have to let go
I just stood back and watched my future pass
And for the awful shape I am in, I can only blame myself
Its no wonder that her love for me wasnt strong enough to last

Holding on for all its worth to all that we got left
And for what its worth weve been less than easy on ourself
If we could write a book they couldnt keep it on the shelf
Were just trying to get it right with all that weve got left

I was there when the bar room opened
Ive been there at closing time
There were things I couldnt handle by myself
Then the right one picked me up and we left it all behind
She said I am all she loving me and for me theres no one else

Holding on for all its worth to all that we got left
And for what its worth weve been less than easy on ourself
If we could write a book they couldnt keep it on the shelf
Were just trying to get it right with all that weve got left
Were just trying to get it right with all that weve got left
