Just To Hold Her Gene Watson

[Verse 1]
She called me up right out of the blue
I hadn't heard from her, I guess, in a year or two
But the sound of her voice on that little machine
Has got me thinking crazy things

[Chorus]
Like running away from everything
Turning my back on hopes and dreams
Just to hold her
Like breaking the heart of the one I love
Or caring about what I'm giving up
Just to hold her
How can a simple hello make me almost lose my mind
And throw away my life just to hold her?

[Verse 2]
She said, "Let's reminisce about old times
You know the numbеr here, room 209"
But I erasеd that message so I could think it through
And realized there are things a man can't do

[Chorus]
Like running away from everything
Turning my back on hopes and dreams
Just to hold her
Like breaking the heart of the one I love
Or caring about what I'm giving up
Just to hold her
How can a simple hello make me almost lose my mind
And throw away my life just to hold her?
How can a simple hello make me almost lose my mind
And throw away my life just to hold her?
