"Hold On, I'm Comin'" (officially registered as "Hold On, I'm Coming", and shown on the original single release as "Hold On! I'm Comin'" and "Hold On! I'm a Comin'") is a 1966 single recorded by soul duo Sam & Dave, issued on the Atlantic-distributed Stax label in 1966.

The song was written by the songwriting team of Isaac Hayes and David Porter, who came up with the title of the song spontaneously when Hayes was trying to get Porter to hurry out of the Stax Studios restroom and get back to songwriting. The original title was "Hold On, I'm Comin'", but some radio stations objected to its "suggestive nature", and labels on most copies of the single gave the title as "Hold On! I'm A Comin'". Released as Stax 189 in the spring of 1966, the single peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot R&B singles chart and at number 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.

Should I stay, should I go?
I want it all but all I know
Is what I’ve had 
And what I’ve lost
And all I gave without a cost
Is it just how I feel?
Hide it all I’ll conceal 
All my scars and all my flaws 
But as I said I want it all 

And when you try to disappear 
I will indulge all your fears
Know I’m wrong hold me near
Never stray stay right hear

Oh you won’t ever see 
just how ugly manipulation looks on me
If these walls could talk I’d be in trouble oh my dear
But if these walls could talk I’d be in trouble oh my dear

Are you tired of my shit?
Said I’m sorry, I repent
For the things that I did
All the words that I meant
When you hurt me all along
Now I’m mean now, now I’m wrong
Saying sorry ain’t enough
You say I’m weak then call my bluff

And when you try to disappear 
I will indulge all your fears
Say I’m wrong hold me near
Never stray stay right hear

No you won’t ever see 
just how ugly manipulation looks on me
But if these walls could talk I’d be in trouble oh my dear
Oh if these walls could talk I’d be in trouble oh my dear

🌿 Verse 2: Regrets and Silver Strands 🌿 "Now my hair has turned to silver,
All my life I’ve loved in vain."
The sands of time slip through gnarled fingers. Regrets nestle like fallen leaves, and love’s embers flicker. Our troubadour, an old man, ponders choices made—each note a tear in the fabric of existence.
🎵 Bridge: Raindrops as Tears 🎵 "I can see her star in heaven,
Blue eyes crying in the rain."

Willie Nelson’s Iconic Version:
However, it was Willie Nelson’s recording that truly made the song a classic
Nelson included it as part of his 1975 album “Red Headed Stranger” 
The album itself was a concept album about a fugitive preacher on the run from the law after killing his wife
Nelson’s version of “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” was praised for its clean, uncluttered country music style and a sparse arrangement reminiscent of the 1940s
Rolling Stone described it as the “beating heart” of the entire album
Chart Success and Revival:
Before this song, Willie Nelson had primarily found success as a songwriter (with hits like “Crazy” for Patsy Cline)
As a performer, he had only reached the top 10 of the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart twice before
In October 1975, “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” became Nelson’s first No. 1 hit as a singer
By the end of the year, it was the third-biggest song of 1975 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart
