Verse

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

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

So I say this prayer

(Chorus)

Take hold of me blessed powers that be

Love keep us together

(Repeat Chords)

Down with the rain came the news

That our wild ways gonna bring us a baby boy

Wash away all those innocent dreams

Now my whole world is turned upside-down on me

And here I pray

To some power they say's gonna keep me from goin' insane

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 your kiss would set me free

Well I've never been so wrong

Chorus

(Spoken)

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 by 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 to stay
