I caught her looking in the mirror
And she was counting the lines
And she turned to me and I could tell she'd been crying
She said "Honey, I've got to know, just between you and me
Is there still the burning ember where fire used to be?"

'Cause honey you hold my world together, you're all that I need
In this world of stormy weather, you're the only light I see
When this whole world has got me coming apart at the seams
What holds me together is you holding me

And I said, after all these years of marriage I guess I've noticed a gray
But to me you're just as lovely as on our wedding day
And there'll never be another woman that can love me like you do
And I've never felt more man than when I'm holding you

'Cause honey you hold my world together, you're all that I need
In this world of stormy weather, you're the only light I see
When this whole world has got me coming apart at the seams
What holds me together is you holding me
What holds me together is you holding me
