HOLD THE LINE lyrics: J. Morse © 1985 You don't know what being away From a friend is until you're there And even if you do, it's not enough To prepare you for the shock Of being unaware The pain of separation's far too rough    But if you've got the will    To survive    And if you've got the strength    To stay alive    You can hold the line    And be brave all the time when I'm away If you know the secret You can empty another page Into your memory, until I return And if you really care You could last another age The hope of seeing me will always burn    And I've got what it takes    To wait it out    Even though the wait can    Make me shout    I can hold the line    And keep everything that's mine when I'm away      When I'm away from you      I know just what to do      Waiting for you is rough, but I'll hold on      When you're away from me      I don't have the urge to be free      Waiting for you's not easy, but you won't be gone      Forever -- you won't be gone      Forever -- you won't be gone      Forever If you want the answer Just send me another line I'll put the question to rest, and you won't wonder If it's all the same to you I'm happy to wait for time To pass and then, we'll see the spell we're under    Cause I've got faith in you    To see it through    One of these days, baby    I'll be back to you    We can hold the line    And show each other a sign when we're away    When we're away. . .      When I'm away from you      I know just what to do      Waiting for you is rough, but I'll hold on      When you're away from me      I don't have the urge to be free      Waiting for you's not easy, but you won't be gone      Forever -- you won't be gone      Forever -- you won't be gone      Forever
