Aww, yeah. Let go of the rope. I wanna hold on but I gotta let go of the rope. It's all in my hands but my heart keeps telling me no. Let go of the rope.
I was once so downhearted. Disappointment was my closest friend. But then you came and he soon departed. And now I've never seen his face again. . Your love is lifting me higher.
It sure is good to see your smile. At the end of a long hard day. Life out there is easier to bear. When you look at me this way. . I can't count the times.
Heavenly father watching us all. We take from each other and give nothing at all. Well it's a dog-gone shame. But never too late for change. So if your luck runs low.
We've only just begun to live. White lace and promises. A kiss for luck and we're on our way. . Before the rising sun we fly. So many roads to choose.
I know last night. Things got a little out of hand. It seemed with one slam of the door. Our world came crashin' in. And now you ask. Can we start over again.
Though you don't call anymore. I sit and wait in vain. I'm gonna rap on your door. Tap on your window pane. . I want to tell you baby. The changes I've been going through.
Hello girl, it's been a while. Guess you'd be glad to know. That I've learned how to laugh and smile. Gettin' over you was slow. . They say old lovers can be good friends.
Ooh la la la la. I did you wrong my heart went out to play. But in the game I lost you. What a price to pay, hey I'm crying. . Ooh baby baby. Ooh baby baby.
I got me a brand new car. Waitin' in the driveway. Shinin' like a bright new star. I've be wishin' on it every day. To take me away from here. . So I called in to where I work.
I had to meet you here today. There's just so many things to say. Please don't stop me 'til I'm through. This is something I hate to do. We've been meeting here so long.
Phone rings, middle of the night. I fumble through the fog to find the light. I here your voice at the end of the line sayin'. "Baby, we can make it work this time".
If you don't know me by now. You will never, never, never know me. . All the things that we've been through. You should understand me like I'm trying to understand you.
This night is empty without you. Streets are crowded. Neon lightenin' flashin' blue. I see lovers passin' by. Feel the passion in their eyes. And that fire leaves me cold.
I can tell by your eyes that you've probably been crying forever. And the stars in the sky don't mean nothing to you, they're a mirror. . I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart.
I can think of younger days. When living for my life was everything a man could want to do. I could never see tomorrow. I was never told about the sorrow.
I don't know where we're going. I don't know if I care. As long it's with you, I'd go anywhere. We're gonna need each other. So I'll drive while you sleep.
Take the ribbon from your hair. Shake it loose and let it fall. Lay it soft against my skin. Like the shadows on the wall. Come on lay down by my side.
Have I told you lately that I love you. Have I told you there's no one above you. You fill my heart with gladness. Take away my sadness. Ease my troubles that's what you do.
Flyin' down a flat track, bottle in a brown sack. Pistons pumpin' in a poor boy's Cadillac. Cross the Mississippi, crazy on the pale moonlight. . I'm goin' to beat the devil.
