Holding Her And Loving You

Lyrics: Walt Aldridge, Tom Brasfield
Music: Walt Aldridge, Tom Brasfield

Played by Bill Kreutzmann's Allstars (with David Nelson) in 1984

It's the third hardest thing I'll ever do
Leaving here without you
And the second hardest thing I'll ever do
Is tellin'=g her about you

She's been good to me when things were going rough
How can I tell her now, good ain't good enough
Oh, the hardest thing I've ever had to do
Is holding her, and loving you

If she'd give me one good reason, I'd be gone
But she ain't done one thing wrong
So don't expect me to just walk out of the door
I still love her, but I love you more

She's been good to me when things weren't going right
She made my days long before you made my nights
So, the hardest thing I've ever had to do
Is holding her, and loving you

Yeah, the hardest thing I'll ever have to do
Is holding her, and loving you
Girl, the hardest thing I'll ever have to do
Is holding her, and loving you
