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
Swimmin' with

a memory that he

can't drown
Lord it ain't sunk in that
she ain't comin' home
0h a man holdin' on

to a woman lettin' go
His heart is tellin' him

to hang on for dear life
Cause deep down

to hang on for dear life
There's a daddy walkin'
his daughter down the
aisle fightin' back tears

for good this time
aisle fightin' back tears

and forcin' a smile
Oh for twenty-two years
he's watched her grow
A man holdin' on to

a woman lettin' go
( Instrumental Break)
In the Hill Valley home
there's a feeble old man

And he's holdin' on

to a fragile old hand
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

to hang on for dear life
Two young lovers with
their bodies on fire
Achin' to swim

that river of desire
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
clothes oh a man holdin'

on to a woman lettin' go
A man holdin' on

to a woman

A woman lettin' go
