I was born all alone In the darkness I couldn't find my way home And you were my only light But since you've been gone The pain cuts me like a knife Your words keep my strong Through my darkest day Even though you're gone baby I can still hear what you'd say You'd say keep on holding on It's darkest before the dawn And I'm lonely baby Lonely and blue Tryin' to live in this world without you And it's funny baby Ain't it funny why My world had to change With the blink of an eye Your words keep my strong Through my darkest day Even though you're gone baby I can still hear what you'd say You'd say keep on holding on It's darkest before the dawn
