Gregory Porter - Holding On Lyrics






Weight of love on my shoulders
I thought that it would be easier than this
I found my heart had grown colder
But the warmth of your kiss, I can't dismiss

Though my past has left me bruised
I ain't hiding from the truth
When the truth won't let me lie right next to you

But it's holding on
And it's holding strong
Even though I tried to make it
Played the part, but I can't fake it
It keeps holding on
And it's holding strong
Even though I tried to break it
Heaven knows that I can't shake it

Holding on
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on

I've seen times that were harder
I remember the taste of bitterness
Won't you help me, my father?
Help me fall in the love that I have missed

Though my past has left me bruised
I ain't hiding from the truth
When the truth won't let me lie right next to you

But it's holding on
And it's holding strong
Even though I tried to make it
Played the part, but I can't fake it
It keeps holding on
And it's holding strong
Even though I tried to break it
Heaven knows that I can't shake it

Whoa
Whoa
Holding on
Holding on

But it's holding on
And it's holding strong
Even though I tried to make it
Played the part, but I can't fake it
It keeps holding on
And it's holding strong
Even though I tried to break it
Heaven knows that I can't shake it

Holding on
Holding on
It keeps holding on
It keeps holding on
It keeps holding on
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on

  47. A.... A....

    GREAT TRACK!

  48. S.... C....

    What a voice

  49. M.... T....

    My favorite song from Gregory Porter! Really beautiful. I don't know if it's my speaker system, but the sax solo is far too loud and have to turn the music down during this then turn it back up.

  50. L.... T....

    Stop letting your past stop u from loving again.Let it go and STOP HOLDING ON TO IT

  51. G.... D....

    Great music mates !Bravo.

  52. M.... L....

    This man is out of this world. He should be bigger On the world stage

  53. M.... E....

    Powerful performances from a peerless personality predisposed to puncturing our perceived notions of what a Porter can do. Break hearts, crash through walls and opening minds, the least that we get from Gregory's voice. His is a unique talent packaged for mass consumption as the lyrics ring so true. Truly enjoyable.

  54. J.... L....

    😍😍😍😍

  55. J.... L....

    Sounds good I love it

  56. T.... ....

    318 c*ts Lol!

  57. A.... b....

    j'aime...

  58. T.... D....

    Thank you ! Mr Porter

  59. A.... V....

    GREAT JAZZ SINGER !@!!!

  60. M.... ....

    I just discovered Gregory Porter. We need more voices like his. Beautiful.

  61. d.... ....

    Years later...still a hit to my ears. #instantclassic

  62. L.... ....

    My mom loved listing to this song I never got it tho but she passed away last year and now I get it I'm Holding On RIP AMBER RIDER

  63. M.... C....

    Holding On....

  64. B.... J....

    His voice is hypnotic

  65. J.... C....

    This is what music should sound like.

  66. J.... C....

    I can't wait to hear him at the Dell Music Center with Patti Labelle, 8/23/18

  67. T.... E....

    I am not well today and here lies the 2nd phase of my healing. Selah~

  68. E.... J....

    saw him last night in Toronto ...amazing performance!!

  69. J.... ....

    To me this is the only version that has meaning. The fast and funky version seems to defeat the purpose of the lyrics.

    J.... ....

    tough crowd

  70. J.... ....

    *2:56** - **3:34*

  71. H.... N....

    I heard this on wcpn npr

  87. L.... R....
