about

A Good Thing On Hold was written for a
Christian Youth Conference in Coolum,
Queensland. The theme of the weekend was,
yes, you guessed it – relationships. This song
was meant to recognise the difficulties
involved in teenage romances, and to
encourage the making of wise life choices.

lyrics

Lyrics:
I don’t want this night to end
So please don’t go – this certainly is fine
Yes it’s late – I know you need your beauty sleep
I certainly need mine
But just one more minute now
And hold me like you’re doin’
It’s so hard to put a good thing on hold
... wey oh, wey oh wey oh, wey oh

I’ll see you tomorrow night, I know I will
I wish it were right now
Getting through the day when you are on my mind
I’ll manage it somehow
But just one more minute now
And hold me like you’re doin’
It’s so hard to put a good thing on hold
... wey oh, wey oh wey oh, wey oh

When we are together life is sweet as sweet
It certainly is fine
We’ve got things to talk about forever now
I know that you are mine
But just one more minute now
And hold me like you’re doin’
It’s so hard to put a good thing on hold
... wey oh, wey oh wey oh, wey oh

“Exuberance stems from vocalist Sharny Russell who, in her puckish way, can do wonderful mischief to a lyric, bending phrases & harmonies, teasing fresh nuances from the standards but never sacrificing musical quality. She is one of Australia’s best female jazz singers.”
Courier Mail

“In a world of over-rated, over-stated singers, Sharny is a gem - an exquisite experience.” Eric Myers,Jazzchord. ... more
