Heaven Is Holding On To The One You Love Lyrics

Wake in the morning feel so weary

Life so simple seems so dreary

Try to give the man the profit

He wolfs it down and then he coughs it up

He says that heaven is holding on to the one you love

Heaven is holding on to the one you love

Heaven is holding on to the one you love

I tried to make the wedding service

One family says the other don't deserve us

Why the bridegroom not the groom's bride

It seems unbalanced toward the wife's side

Heaven is holding on to the one you love

Heaven is holding on to the one you love

Heaven is holding on to the one you love

I'm throwing rice I'm throwing birdseed

Watch the happy couple now bleed

See them in their limousine there

Smoking fish and gasoline

I think that heaven is holding on to the one you love

Heaven is holding on to the one you love

Heaven is holding on to the one you love

I hit the road toward their reception

A party full of sly deception

I was introduced to all the family

I couldn't find an ounce of mercy

I think heaven is holding on to the one you love

Heaven is holding on to the one you love

Heaven is holding on to the one you love

I tried to ask the preacher who he prayed to

I found he had no answer when he slayed you

You were lying there my father dead and bloody

And he said all men must know that Jesus is our buddy

Met a woman in the barroom

She opened up my dusty tomb

She said boy you've got to find your feeling

I told her I'd spent the last eight years kneeling

She said heaven is holding on to the one you love

Heaven is holding on to the one you love

Heaven is holding on to the one you love

Mama I can't stop the freight train

From rolling through the driving rain

God the father God the spirit

Listen close and you can hear it

Heaven is holding on to the one you love

Heaven is holding on to the one you love

Heaven is holding on to the one you love

Heaven is holding on to the one you love until the break of the dawn

Just wrap your arms around him you can hold him forever

Nobody in this world can make you feel better

I think heaven is holding on to the one you love

Heaven is holding on to the one you love

Heaven is holding on to the one you love

Heaven is holding on to the one you love

Heaven is holding on to the one you love
