Hold On
Sons of Maxwell - Among the Living
Abigail how are you today?
I'm sorry that I'm a little late
I know what you're going through
Please don't cry when you look at me
I realize that I've done the thing
I swore I'd never do
And I know this place is anything but a home
But I'm getting older and I can't take care of you alone
So hold on to your memories, Abby
As long as you can
But if you forget don't despair
For I will understand
And I will tell you the stories
Of when we were Queen and King
And I'll say that in our 40 years
I wouldn't change a thing
The nurses say you are doing well
They may be right but it's hard to tell
They've only just met you
They've never seen or heard you laugh
I'll have to show them the photographs
So they can know you too
And we can tell them of all the great things that you've done
And introduce them to our daughter and our two grandsons
So hold on to your memories, Abby
As long as you can
But if you forget don't despair
For I will understand
And I will tell you the stories
Of when we were Queen and King
And I'll say that in our 40 years
I wouldn't change a thing
The ship I'm on is sinking
And I'm feeling lost and blind
And it scares me into thinking
That if you leave it's me you leave behind
Oh Abby don't you leave me behind
So hold on to your memories, Abby
As long as you can
But if you forget don't despair
For I will understand
And I will tell you the stories
Of when we were Queen and King
And I'll say that in our 40 years
I wouldn't change a thing
Oh, I would trade my life to ease your pain
But I wouldn't change a thing
