Once there was music that used to warm my soul
I once had feelings you might never know
Hold on to your loved one
Too soon she'll be long gone
Hold on to your loved one
She's the only one

I once saw beauty in the most unpleasant things
Now I can't even see myself, how can I see anything else?
Hold on to your loved one
Too soon she'll be long gone
Hold on to your loved one
She's the only one
She's the only one
She's the only one

I once heard a story ‘bout a man who had caught the blues
In his fight for fame and glory, he forgot what he had to lose
Hold on to your loved one
Too soon she'll be long gone
Hold on to your loved one
She's the only one
She's the only one
She's the only one
