TWINKIE ACOUSTIC - “HOLDING THIS GUITAR” The sun went down behind the ocean, summer painted up the sky, Everybody's laughing by the fire, but I'm wondering why. I've got sand between my fingers, and your name inside my heart, Everybody came here tonight, but somehow you were gone from the start. So I keep holding this guitar, like I'm holding on to you, Six strings and a thousand memories, and all the things we never knew. Maybe you'll come walking down the beach, maybe you'll be here by the morning light, But until I see your shadow, I'll keep playing through the night. I'm holding this guitar, 'cause I can't hold you tonight, I'm singing to the ocean, underneath the summer sky. I'm holding this guitar, while the stars are shining bright, If you can't be here beside me, I'll hold these strings tonight. Oh-oh-oh, sing it with me, Oh-oh-oh, out by the sea, If you can't be here beside me, I'll hold this guitar for you and me. The boys are throwing jokes around, the girls are dancing in the sand, Someone started singing our old song, and I wished you'd take my hand. I remember last July, when you promised you'd be here, You said we'd watch the stars together, now you're nowhere near. I don't know where you're hiding, I don't know when you'll return, But every chord I play tonight is another thing I never got to learn. Maybe you'll come walking down the beach, maybe you'll hear me call your name, Maybe this old summer evening won't ever feel the same. I'm holding this guitar, 'cause I can't hold you tonight, I'm singing to the ocean, underneath the summer sky. I'm holding this guitar, while the stars are shining bright, If you can't be here beside me, I'll hold these strings tonight. Oh-oh-oh, sing it with me, Oh-oh-oh, out by the sea, If you can't be here beside me, I'll hold this guitar for you and me. Maybe love is like the tide, it disappears and comes back again, Maybe you're somewhere beneath these stars, thinking of me like I'm thinking of you. And if tomorrow brings you back, I'll put this guitar down, And let you take my hand while the whole beach sings along. But tonight... I'm still holding on. I'm holding this guitar, 'cause I can't hold you tonight, I'm singing to the ocean, underneath the summer sky. I'm holding this guitar, and I'm wishing you were here, Every note becomes a message, every chord makes you feel near. I'm holding this guitar, until the morning comes, And if you hear me singing, maybe you'll know where I'm from. Oh-oh-oh, sing it with me, Oh-oh-oh, out by the sea, Everybody sing together, let the summer set us free! I'm holding this guitar, I'm holding on to you, Six strings beneath the moonlight, and a heart that still stays true. Maybe you'll come back someday... Maybe I'll still be here... Holding this guitar. --
