Love Keep Us Together

Hold me tight, don't say goodnight

And I'll let you know that I care

Wait a little longer, don't let me be

And I'll comfort you from the storm

It's been a long night, tomorrow's another day

Call me when you find out the answer

And I'll hope and I'll pray

To a power that will keep me from goin' insane

In the meantime, baby

Teenage lovers caught up in this dance

Pain's the price of this young romance

How was I such a young fool to know

Lord knows I got no direction from home, baby

So I say this prayer

"Take hold of me, blessed powers that be

Love keep us together"

"Take hold of me, blessed powers that be

Love keep us together"

Down with the rain came the news

That our wild ways gonna bring us a baby boy

I wash away all those innocent dream

Now my whole world turned upside down on me

And here I pray to some power, they say

Is gonna keep me from goin' insane

I don't think so, child

I can't be strong unless I'm by your side

My weakness tells me to run for the hills

Responsibility beckons me

To think I dreamed that your kiss would set me free, baby

Well, I've never been so wrong

"Take hold of me, blessed powers that be

Love keep us together"

"Take hold of me, blessed powers that be

Love keep us together"

There cries a child so deep in the night

He needs a father, somebody to set things right

I am the one to love to hold him tight

To discount my love, a serious oversight

Higher power has brought us together, I know

She will keep us together wherever we go

Even if I live a thousand miles away

My love is pure and strong and here

Sing together for ever

And a day together

I know one day, we will be together

Me and you drive out

[Incomprehensible] and you see, yeah
