Song Description
The singer recalls with bitter-sweet emotions a time he was held in the arms of a lost love. He still holds her inside, in spite of the many changes wrought by the passage of time. Deeply rooted in emo and mellow jazz, "When You Were Holding Me" gives a lovely blend of guitar, carefully designed strings, and tender vocals and lyrics.

Lyrics
I've been missing you since you've gone away.
I've been thinking about you every day.
I still hold you inside,
and I remember the times when you were holding me.
You were just like a dream to me.
You showed me how good life can be.
I still hold you inside,
and I remember the time when you were holding me.
You were holding me. You were holding me. You were holding me.
Times have changed,
but there ain't nothing new.
Time won't heal the pain of losing you.
Losing love, I find the pain.
In my heart, you shall remain.
I still hold you inside,
and I remember the time when you were holding me.
You were holding me, holding me.
You were holding me
