A Man Holding On To A Woman Lettin' Go

Two young lovers with their bodies on fire Aching to swim that river of desire Leaving innocence there on the bank by their clothes A man holding on to a woman letting go There's a man with a bottle on the other side of town Swimming with the memory that he can't drown Lord it ain't sunk in that she ain't coming home Oh a man holding on to a woman letting go. CHORUS: His heart is telling him to hang on for dear life Cause deep down he know she's letting go for good this time There's a daddy walking his daughter down the aisle Fighting back tears and forcing a smile Over twenty-two years he watched her grow A man holding on to a woman letting go lead In Hill Valley home there's a feeble old man And he's holding on to a fragile old hand And the angels are coming to carry her home Now he's a man holding on to a woman letting go chorus, key change Two young lovers with their bodies on fire Aching to swim that river of desire Leaving innocence there on the bank by their clothes A man holding on to a woman letting go
