Holding things together ain't no easy thing to do

When it comes to raising children it's a job meant for two

Alice please believe me I can't go on and on holding things together with you gone



Today was Angie's birthday I guess it slipped your mind

I tried twice to call you with no answer either time

But the postman brought a present I mailed some days ago

I just signed it love from mama so Angie wouldn't know

Holding things together...

[ steel - piano ]

Holding things together...

I'm holding things together please come home
