I see you laughing up at me, and I can't hide
What it is that you can see
I guess that's why
I'm holding out my love for you
And when you turn it around
In different ways
The answers turn around and fly away
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/c/chris+rea/holding+out_20030641.html ]
I see you laughing up at me
And I can't hide
What it is that you can see
I guess that's why
I'm holding out my love for you

A lifelong history
Of trust in vain
I lead the fools' parade
Out in the rain

I see you laughing up at me
'Cos you don't seem to care
But oh how happy I can be
When you are there

That's why I'm holding out
My love for you
