Sade - Hang On To Your Love


Hang On To Your Love is a track taken from Sade's debut album Diamond Life, released in 1984.  This was the best selling debut album by a British female vocalist and two songs - Smooth Operator and Your Love Is King went on to become singles hits.

This issue is a Best Of compilation, and I've featured one other track from this - Is It A Crime, as well the 45rpm 12" single version of Smooth Operator.

Here the track is played on my recently acquired Yamaha PX-3 parallel tracker, this time with a Nagaoka MP-300 cartridge.


Cartridge: Nagaoka MP-300
Phono amp: Graham Slee Accession
Turntable: Yamaha PX-3 direct drive turntable




Hang On To Your Love

In heavens name why are you walking away?
Hang on to your love.
In heavens name why do you play these games?
Hang on to your love.

Take time if you're down on luck.
Its so easy to walk out on love.
Take you time if the going gets tough.
Its so precious.

So if you want it to get stronger you'd better not let go.
Youve got to hold on longer if you want you love to grow.
Got to stick together, hand in glove.
Hold on tight, don't fight.
Hang on to your love.

In heavens name why are you walking away?
Hang on to your love.
In heavens name why do you play these games?
Hang on to your love.

Be brave when the journey is rough,
Its not easy when you're in love.
Don't be ashamed when the going gets tough
Its not easy,
Don't give up.

If want it to get stronger you'd better not let go.
You got to hold on longer if you want you love to grow.
Got to stick together, hand in glove.
Hold on tight, don't fight.
Hang on to your love.

Youve got to hang on to your love.
Youve got to hang on to your love.
Why are you walking away?
Why do you play these games?
