You Can't Hold On To Love - Loretta Lynn

You can’t hold on to sunlight when shadows are falling

You can’t hold on to summer when winter is calling

You can’t hold on to moonlight, you’d be cheating the dawn

And you can’t hold on to love when it’s over and gone

You can’t pick off a rosebud, then keep it from dying

You can’t tell me you love me, if you did, you’d be lying

You can’t hold on to my heart by leading me on

And you can’t hold on to love when it’s over and gone

You can’t count all the raindrops in one April shower

You can’t count all my heartaches in one lonely hour

You can’t love me the right way by doing me wrong

And you can’t hold on to love when it’s over and gone
