Hold On (Freedom Sessions Version)

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are bright
You never know, dear, how much I love you
So please don't take my sunshine away
Please don't take my sunshine away
Hold on, hold on to yourself
For this is gonna hurt like hell
Hold on, hold on to yourself
You know that only time will tell
What is it in me that refuses to believe
This isn't easier than the real thing
My love, oh, you know that you're my best friend
Know I'd do anything for you
My love, let nothing come between us
My love for you is strong and true
Am I in Heaven here or am I

At the crossroads I am standing
So now you're sleeping peaceful, I lie awake and pray
You'll be strong tomorrow and we'll see another day
And we will praise it
And love the light that brings a smile across your face
Oh God, if you're out there won't you hear me
I know that we've never talked before
And, oh God, the man I love is leaving
Won't you take him when he comes to your door
Am I in Heaven here or am I in Hell
At the crossroads I am standing
So now you're sleeping peaceful, I lie awake and pray
You'll be strong tomorrow and we'll see another day

And we will praise it
And love the light that brings a smile
Now you're sleeping peaceful, I lie awake and pray
You'll be strong tomorrow and we'll see another day
And we will praise it
And love the light that brings a smile across your face
Hold on, hold on to yourself
For this is gonna hurt like hell
