Holding out lyrics

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

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
