Dermot Kennedy

(Hold onto love tightly, honey, it may never come back)
(Baby, you were so right for me, don t you ever ask that)
(Hold onto love tightly, honey, it may never come back)
(Baby, you were so right for me, don t you ever ask that)

Her heart was still bereft and all
sick and tired of steppin on
Shine, my darling, never leave the light
I hate to see you skeptical, hugs that never helped at all
Things that I ve accepted in this life
Loss was unacceptable, wish we coulda kept it all
I ve learned in love and death we don t decide
So sing until it fills the halls
sing until the curtain falls
Jealous of the ocean till those eyes

It s not easy to forget how I loved you
But I really don t want anybody else
I d give anything to see those eyes
I won t forget the lesson that I learned that night
It s not easy to forget how I loved you
But I really don t want anybody else
I d give anything to see those eyes
I won t forget the lesson that I learned that night

(Hold onto love tightly, honey, it may never come back)
(Baby, you were so right for me, don t you ever ask that)
(Hold onto love tightly, honey, it may never come back)
(Baby, you were so right for me, don t you ever ask that)

There was never gonna be a right time
So I should leave before I lose the sunlight
I cannot keep your spirit pinned down
If it was working, would ve known it by now
But I hope your life is beautiful, a story like a musical
Standing ovation every night
Just never let them kill your soul
I m never gonna let you fall
My promises get stronger over time

It s not easy to forget how I loved you
But I really don t want anybody else
I d give anything to see those eyes
I won t forget the lesson that I learned that night
It s not easy to forget how I loved you
But I really don t want anybody else
I d give anything to see those eyes
I won t forget the lesson that I learned that night

(Hold onto love tightly, honey, it may never come back)
(Baby, you were so right for me, don t you ever ask that)
(Hold onto love tightly, honey, it may never come back)
(Baby, you were so right for me, don t you ever ask that)

(Easy to forget how I loved you, easier than anything else)
(Easy to forget how I loved you, easier than anything else)
