Maybe it’s the sunlight
dashed along the wall
Or the traces of your scent
casting a hazy pall
‘Cross my mind’s open window
I can’t see you at all
Honey,
I hope you’re holdin’ on tonight
Can you tell by the shadow
of my hair against the floor
I ain’t been sleepin’ very well
without your shoes by the door
And at the same time all these
pills haven’t reached my very core
Honey,
I hope you’re holdin’ on tonight
Mountains fill my dreams at night
and cast their cruel stakes
On my heart; I’m leavin’ you,
I don’t know the time and place
But my soul knows
where it’s going and someone else
will take your place Honey,
I hope you’re holdin’ on tonight
Magic in the air tonight
can cast a purple spell
Whisper secrets of the moonbeams
and the stars’ own fiery hell
But it’ll never tell the story
of how both of our hands fell
Babe,
I hope you’re holdin’ on tonight
Golden light upon the leaves leaves
you in bitter shade
When I go to leave the doorway
your hand reaches for my face
Oh I can’t help but wonder
if my answer’s right to change
Honey,
I hope you’re holdin’ on tonight
Honey,
I hope you’re holdin’ on tonight
Darlin’, please hold on tonight.
