I was a changed man
When I saw my old friend
And she told me what, what you said
That you once had a thing for me
I was in love with you
When we were 22
And I wish that I knew then
I wish I had taken your hand
I held out for so long
Guess I'll keep holding on
Julie, you made a fool out of me
I would've chased you all around
Waited from town to town until I found you
Julie, you were the one for me
I would've waited all my life
Would've been you and I until we died
I held out for so long
Guess I'll keep holding on
♪
You should've seen my eyes
When I heard that you had a child
And you're married now for a while
Well, I hope that he makes you smile
And if you care to know, I'm living just below the city line
Oh-oh-oh, I hope you come and see it sometime
I held out for so long
Might as well keep holding on
Julie, you made a fool out of me
I would've chased you all around
Waited from town to town until I found you
Julie, you were the one for me
I would've waited all my life
Would've been you and I until we died, eh
And I held out for so long
Yes, I did, ah
I held out for so long
But I kept on, kept on
I held out for so long
I only know how to keep
Holding on
