I know that this song is performed by the blind singer, Terry Kelly. It was co authored by Kelly and Bruce Guthro. It is about a married couple who spend their entire life together until he gets Alzheimer's and eventually passes on. It is a very emotional and moving song. If anyone has all the lyrics to it, I would appreciate them. SOL ZELLER

I'm not too sure about the Newfoundland part, but here are the lyrics from the album Terry Kelly - The Power of the Dream. :-)

Terry is a native of Newfoundland but has lived in Nova Scotia for many years. Blind since a small child , but never handicapped, he is a great athlete as well as a singer/songwriter. He is one of a very few blind persons to have run the mile in under 5 minutes.

"Hold On To Me" also reveals St John's as the location where the couple lived and loved. That's Newfoundland enough for me. :-)
