Holding On

There was a time when we were
Gonna rule this world, just you and me
Our kingdom stretching over plains and mountains
And rivers - far as the eye can see

You were the only one around
Who understood, who truly knew
Who I was in my heart and soul
And just the same, I knew you

People say I need to grow
But what do those losers know
Jackie, I'm still holding on to you

As time went on, you disappeared
I looked everywhere, but you were gone
I wish I could have made you stay
But it was clear that you'd moved on

Maybe this was all that was meant for us
Maybe our chapter wasn't meant to last
Maybe you grew up faster than others
And I'm still clinging to the past

People say life won't wait for me
But I can't move on so easily
Jackie, I'm still holding on to you

Do you remember what life was like
When it was just you and me against the rest?
Wherever you are, I hope you're happy now
I still wish you all the best

And even if we never meet again
I thank you for the time we had
The love you gave and the joy we made
And even the times when things were bad

People say life's no adventure
But you and I both know better
Jackie, I'm still holding on to you

To have felt the wonder, and have seen in color
I can't go back to black and white
And I miss you dearly, and things aren't the same
But with your memories, I'm alright

And if somehow, you hear this song
Know that I'll never forget you, my friend
And that my door's always open for you
And that our love will never end

People say things aren't so romantic
But I've seen - I've lived - the magic
Jackie, I'm still holding on to you
Jackie, I can't let you go
Jackie, I'm still holding on to you
