Holding On To Letting Go

On the edge of remember, she's tryin' not to fall
She still sees his face in every dirty window
Hears his laughter down the hall
On the slope of surrender they held on
True love they swore
She still feels his arms around her
In the shirt he wore.

Day by day
She takes it slow
She's still holding on to letting go.

On the salt stained sidewalks of sleepy Baldwin St.
She still sees his face in every dark café
Where their lonely hearts would meet
Oh the slant of the afternoon sunlight
Shines bittersweet
Memories fall like snowflakes
Vanish as they hit the street.

Day by day
She takes it slow
She's still holding on to letting go.

She sits by the window
Lost in the falling snow
Then a voice says
It's time to go.

Day by day
She takes it slow
She's still holding on to letting go
Like winter sun
She's sinking low
She's still holding on to letting go.

On the edge of remember
She's tryin' not to fall
Don't fall.
