Hold on to Her

[Verse] Tommy walked her home from school, holding her hand real tight She was the preacher's daughter, they’d talk all through the night Fishing by the old creek, he caught her smiling face Tommy never knew then, he'd face that old embrace [Verse 2] Years went by, the world turned, they held on through the years Through the joy and laughter, and wiped away the tears By a campfire under stars, he pledged he'd never stray Tommy couldn't imagine, she'd ever go away [Chorus] Hold on to her, no matter where the wind may blow She's the one that lights the spark when life's burnin' low When you're out on the roughest seas, she'll be your guiding light Hold on to her, and everything will be alright [Verse 3] Tommy thought he'd lost her, when the doctor shook his head In that cold, stark hospital room, fear and prayers were said But she fought the hardest battles, with a smile upon her face Her strength pulled them back up outta darkness and disgrace [Bridge] Now the days are turning golden, she’s the sunshine on his field Love’s the crop they harvested, from the heartland they healed And he whispers every morning, even more than before Tommy knows he’s blessed, she’s the one he’s living for [Chorus] Hold on to her, no matter where the wind may blow She's the one that lights the spark when life's burnin' low When you're out on the roughest seas, she'll be your guiding light Hold on to her, and everything will be alright
