Back When I was Holding You

Words & Music by J.C. Hyke

 

With a smile you said good-bye

No tears in your eyes

And we were glad to be set free

From a love not meant to be

 

So I guess it's all for the best

Not enough common interests

Our dreams had split in two

So why are my arms wanting to

Go back when I was holdin' you

 

Chorus

In your embrace our love was pure gold

As you caressed and warmed my soul

When it was good it felt so right

With my arms around you tight

Do you miss how it felt too

Back when I was holdin' you

 

So I'll pour myself a drink

And drown a bittersweet memory

Try again with someone new

Somebody warm to hold on to

Too bad there's no one else like you - Repeat Chorus

If we’d have only work things through

I wouldn’t be here missing you

And it would feel like it used to

Back when I was holdin' you
