I once held that someone special didn't have to let her go I just stood back and watched my future pass And for the awful shape I'm in I can only blame myself It's no wonder that her love for me wasn't strong enough to last Holding on for all its worth to all that we got left And for what it's worth we've been less than easy on ourselves If we could write a book they couldn't keep it on the shelf We're just trying to get it right with all that we've got left I was there when the bar room opened I've been there at closing time There were things I couldn't handle by myself Then the right one picked me up and we left it all behind She said I'm all she'll ever need and for me there's no one else Holding on for all its worth to all that we got left And for what it's worth we've been less than easy on ourselves If we could write a book they couldn't keep it on the shelf We're just trying to get it right with all that we've got left We're just trying to get it right with all that we've got left
