ALONE UNTIL
MY EIGHTEENTH YEAR
WE MET FOUR SPRINGS AGO
SHE WAS SHY AND HAD A FEAR
OF THINGS SHE DID NOT KNOW
BUT WE GOT IT ON TOGETHER
IN SUCH A SUPER WAY
WE HELD EACH OTHER
CLOSE AT NIGHT
AND TRADED DREAMS EACH DAY
AND SHE SAID
ROCKY, I'VE NEVER
BEEN IN LOVE BEFORE
DON'T KNOW IF I CAN DO IT
BUT IF YOU LET ME LEAN ON YOU
TAKE MY HAND
I MIGHT GET THROUGH IT
THROUGH IT
I SAID, BABY
OH, SWEET BABY
IT'S LOVE THAT SETS US FREE
AND GOD KNOWS
IF THE WORLD SHOULD END
YOUR LOVE IS SAFE WITH ME
WE FOUND AN OLD GREY HOUSE
AND YOU WOULD
NOT BELIEVE THE WAY
WE WORKED AT NIGHT
TO FIX IT UP
TOOK CLASSES IN THE DAY
PAINTIN' WALLS AND SIPPIN' WINE
SLEEPIN' ON THE FLOOR
WITH SO MUCH LOVE
FOR JUST TWO
SOON WE FOUND
THERE'D BE ONE MORE
AND SHE SAID
ROCKY, I'VE NEVER
HAD A BABY BEFORE
DON'T KNOW IF I CAN DO IT
BUT IF YOU LET ME LEAN ON YOU
TAKE MY HAND
I MIGHT GET THROUGH IT
THROUGH IT
I SAID, BABY
OH, SWEET BABY
IT'S LOVE THAT SETS US FREE
AND GOD KNOWS
IF THE WORLD SHOULD END
YOUR LOVE IS SAFE WITH ME
WE HAD LOTS OF PROBLEMS THEN
BUT WE HAD LOTS OF FUN
LIKE THE CRAZY PARTY
WHEN OUR BABY GIRL
TURNED ONE
I WAS PROUD AND SATISFIED
LIFE HAD SO MUCH TO GIVE
'TIL THE DAY THEY TOLD ME
THAT SHE DIDN'T
HAVE LONG TO LIVE
SHE SAID
ROCKY, I'VE NEVER
HAD TO DIE BEFORE
DON'T KNOW IF I CAN DO IT
NOW IT'S BACK TO TWO AGAIN
THE LITTLE GIRL AND I
WHO LOOKS SO MUCH
LIKE HER SWEET MOTHER
SOMETIMES IT MAKES ME CRY
I SLEEP ALONE AT NIGHTS AGAIN
I WALK ALONE EACH DAY
AND SOMETIMES
WHEN I'M ABOUT TO GIVE IN
I HEAR HER SWEET VOICE SAY
TO ME, ROCKY, YOU KNOW
YOU'VE BEEN ALONE BEFORE
YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN DO IT
BUT IF YOU'D LIKE TO LEAN ON ME
TAKE MY HAND
I'LL HELP YOU THROUGH IT
THROUGH IT
I SAID, BABY
OH, SWEET BABY
IT'S LOVE THAT SETS US FREE
AND I TOLD YOU WHEN
THE WORLD WOULD END
YOUR LOVE WAS SAFE WITH ME
SHE SAID
ROCKY, YOU KNOW
YOU'VE BEEN ALONE BEFORE
YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN DO IT
BUT IF YOU'D LIKE TO LEAN ON ME
TAKE MY HAND
I'LL HELP YOU THROUGH IT
THROUGH IT
I SAID, BABY
OH, SWEET BABY
IT'S LOVE THAT SETS US FREE
AND I TOLD YOU WHEN
THE WORLD WOULD END
YOUR LOVE WAS SAFE WITH ME
