Grief - Hold On
Hold on
Hold on to yourself
for this is gonna hurt like hell
Hold on
Hold on to yourself
you know that only time will tell
What is it in me that refuses to believe
this isn't easier than the real thing
My love
you know that you're my best friend
you know I'd do anything for you
my love
let nothing come between us
my love for you is strong and true
Am I in heaven here or am I...
at the crossroads I am standing
So now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray
that you'll be strong tomorrow and we'll
see another day and we will praise it
and love the light that brings a smile
across your face
Oh God if you're out there won't you hear me
I know that we've never talked before
Oh God the man I love is leaving
won't you take him when he comes to your door
Am I in heaven here or am I in hell
at the crossroads I am standing
So now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray
that you'll be strong tomorrow and we'll
see another day and we will praise it
and love the light that brings a smile
across your face...
Hold on
hold on to yourself
for this is gonna hurt like hell

That was beautiful.
It so does. It so literally feels like hell it hurts so badly sometimes. But experiencing hell makes heaven sweeter. Some days, that's what would make me get up and brush my teeth and get out of my sweat pants.
Thanks for this.
I tried to see the video on my phone but I couldn't. The words are very good though.
Just a bit of background on the song:
She was inspired to write it (so the story goes) after a friend watched her husband lose his battle with AIDS.
Music can often speak to a grieving heart in a way that nothing else can. Thanks for this -- hadn't heard the song before.
beautiful!
Enough of this... I'm a mess!
I've always liked this song. Thanks for sharing the history, Kathy... wow!
I always cry during her Humane Society (or whatever dog charity) commercial, so now you really got me going. This is just so very heart-wrenching.
That was stunning. Thank you.
Yes, I find music more soothing sometimes, because I can quitely sit just me and my soul and spirit and reach out to God.
