Maybe it's the sunlight dashed along the wall
Or the traces of your scent casting a hazy pall
'Cross my mind's open window I can't see you at all
Honey, I hope you're holdin' on tonight
Can you tell by the shadow of my hair against the floor
I ain't been sleepin' very well without your shoes by the door
And at the same time all these pills haven't reached my very core
Honey, I hope you're holdin' on tonight
Mountains fill my dreams at night and cast their cruel stakes
On my heart; I'm leavin' you, I don't know the time and place
But my soul knows where it's going, someone else will take your place
Honey, I hope you're holdin' on tonight
Magic in the air tonight can cast a purple spell
Whisper secrets of the moonbeams and the stars' own fiery hell
But it'll never tell the story of how both of our hands fell
Babe, I hope you're holdin' on tonight
Golden light upon the leaves leaves you in bitter shade
When I go to leave the doorway your hand reaches for my face
Oh I can't help but wonder if my answer's right to change
Honey, I hope you're holdin' on tonight
Honey, I hope you're holdin' on tonight
Darlin', please hold on tonight
