The best song Burt & Hal didn't write
writers should write and singers should sing
that’s how it ought to be
but I have to be a singer/songwriter
apparently
Story behind the song
Burt Bacharach & Hal David wrote with musical passion to the highest standards. Ordinary mortals can not hope to reach that level but can attempt to capture the flavour and spirit of a Bacharach/David song
Lyrics
Hold on to love
Even though you’re gone
The memory lingers on
Like a haunting melody that gets inside me
Takes control the whole night long
Even though I try
It makes no sense to cry
But it’s easy to loose heart, as teardrops start
Sometimes I wonder why, I, still
Hold on to love
It’s my destiny to
Hold on to love, oh
Hold on to love
While the rest of me
Still searches for love
I still believe there is someone, somewhere
Who will love me
Even though love dies
I’m the last to realise
Why the Angels fear to tread the road to romance
And take shelter with the wise
Even though I smile
Just once in a while
Still the sorrow in my eyes betrays the lies
Rejection and denial, still I’ll
