Love Holds On
words and music by Rebecca Hanneman and Rick Paul

Love's tender when it's young and when we're lucky
Lingers like a sweet kiss of desire
Blazing as our passions consume us
Rising from the ashes, love is fire

Fear like a phantom tries to chase us
And catch us when we're frail and all alone
We start to lose our grasp on what's important
Forget the thing that we have always known

Love holds on
Fear lets go
Love is steady, love is strong
Love holds on

We sleep under the blanket of commitment
We dream above the clouds of sweet romance
Moving past the sting of old rejections
We give our jaded hearts another chance

Love holds on
Fear lets go
Love is steady, love is strong
Love holds on

Love holds on
Fear lets go
Love is steady, love is strong
Love holds on
Love holds on
