[Verse] Midnight shadows stretch across the floor, Old clock’s tickin’, can’t take no more. Her silhouette’s a ghost against the phone, Waitin’ for a word, but she’s all alone. [Pre-Chorus] Every ring’s a hope that fades away, Empty silence bleeds into the day. [Chorus] She’s holdin’ on till the dawn, oh, holdin’ on, Lost in the night where the heartache’s strong. Whisperin’ prayers to a love that’s gone, A woman waitin’ by the phone till dawn. [Verse] Smoke curls from a candle burnt down low, Eyes keep searchin’ for a sign to show. Fingers trace the memories deep inside, A love that’s driftin’, no place to hide. [Pre-Chorus] Every ring’s a hope that fades away, Empty silence bleeds into the day. [Chorus] She’s holdin’ on till the dawn, oh, holdin’ on, Lost in the night where the heartache’s strong. Whisperin’ prayers to a love that’s gone, A woman waitin’ by the phone till dawn. [Bridge] In the stillness, hear her heart’s low moan, Time moves slow when you’re waitin’ alone. Sleepless eyes chase the coming light, Still she’s grounded in the dark of night. [Chorus] She’s holdin’ on till the dawn, oh, holdin’ on, Lost in the night where the heartache’s strong. Whisperin’ prayers to a love that’s gone, A woman waitin’ by the phone till dawn. [Outro] Holdin’ on... till the dawn... Holdin’ on... till the dawn...
