Two young lovers with their bodies on fire
Achin' to swim that river of desire
Leavin' innocence there on the bank by their clothes
A man holdin' on to a woman lettin' go
There's a man with a bottle on the other side of town
Swimmin' with the memories that he can't drown
Lord, it ain't sunk in that she ain't comin' home
Oh, a man holdin' on to a woman lettin' go
His heart is tellin' him
To hang on for dear life
'Cause deep down he knows
She's lettin' go for good this time
There's a daddy walkin' his daughter down the aisle
Fightin' back tears and forcin' a smile
Oh for 22 years he's watched her grow
A man holdin' on to a woman lettin' go
In the hill valley home there's a feeble old man
And he's holdin' on to a fragile old hand
And the angels are comin' to carry her home
Now he's a man holdin' on to a woman lettin' go
His heart is tellin' him
To hang on for dear life
'Cause deep down he knows
She's lettin' go for good this time
Two young lovers with their bodies on fire
Achin' to swim that river of desire
Leavin' innocence there on the bank by their clothes
Oh, a man holdin' on to a woman lettin' go
A man holdin' on to a woman, woman lettin' go
