Holdin' On

Ten Years Gone - Led Zeppelin

Then as it was, then again it will be…

This one time at band camp…I met the girl of my dreams
Fate’s purposes are not exactly what we think it really intends
Those few summer days we spent together were magical
Bu we knew we’d have to go our ways and decided to stay friends

And though we longed for each other we never really confessed
Those few visits became an inspiration, a secret love to hide
We were from two separate worlds joined by heartbreaks
But the circumstances seemed to put this undying love aside

We were teens with the ideal love, surreal and imagined
Distance made the heart grow fonder though we never tried
Our ships sailed far apart though we kept longing, hidden
The embers of forbidden love felt like they never died

Did you ever really need somebody…

Ten years had come and gone, and suddenly there we were
Adults with duties and responsbilities to portray
But the memory of young love revived something in my soul
As the fire grew there were so many circumstances in the way

Needless to say, I created a storm and made a terrible mess
I had held on in the deepest part of my heart, in my secret place
Something had stirred inside me, it was a great surpise to me
But I knew had to chase my dream girl when I saw her face

Darlin’, I’m holdin’ on
