something to hold on to

Harry Belafonte

Something to hold on to
Everybody needs
Something that canââ?¬â?¢t slip
Right through your fingers
Lookinââ?¬â?¢ for that reason,
Reason to believe
Something to hold on to
And Iââ?¬â?¢m holding on to you

Something to hold on to
Like a babyââ?¬â?¢s hand
Something thereââ?¬â?¢s no way
Of letting go
Canââ?¬â?¢t get by without it
Thereââ?¬â?¢s no one who can
Something to hold on to
And Iââ?¬â?¢m holding on to you

All the way up,
All the way down
Taking the short or long way 'round
What if this is all that there is
Iââ?¬â?¢ve got enough to keep me going
I have no possessions
That canââ?¬â?¢t be thrown away
Your love is my one and only treasure
Nothing last forever
But this oneââ?¬â?¢s gonna stay
Itââ?¬â?¢s something to hold on to,
And Iââ?¬â?¢m holding on to you
