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
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
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
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
