Hanging On (Tom's Song) Lyrics

I was six years old
when I heard the news that you
you had gone
gone away
and you're never coming back
my mom sat me down and began to cry
and said boy oh my boy
this is gonna hurt
this is gonna tear your little heart
and i said to her
if I can't lift him up
I won't leave him hanging on to me
if I can't lift him up
I won't leave him hanging on to me
you better believe
You still dream of her
as she dreams of you each now
that you hover over her head
as she reached to pull you in
