Holding On To Nothing (1968)
We're holding on to nothing left to hold on to

I'm so tired of holding on to nothing
The years have shown no kindness for the hard times we've been through
We've squeezed the life from every dream and still go right on bluffing
With really nothing left to hold on to

Oh why do we keep on holding on with nothing left to hold on to?
Let's be honest with each other that's the least that we can do
I feel guilty with the ending me and you
We're holding on to nothing left to hold on to

We were young and foolishly mistaken
Victims of a passion much too strong to be denied
With only tears to show for all the years that we've been faking
God only knows how long how hard we've tried

Oh why do we keep on holding on with nothing left to hold on to?
Let's be honest with each other that's the least that we can do
I feel guilty with the ending me and you
We're holding on to nothing left to hold on to
We're holding on to nothing left to hold on to
