Help Me Up Lyrics


Are you going to help me or will you let me down?
I'm looking for a true love but am I lost or found?
And will we cry in passion or will we cry in pain?
And will our lonely teardrops fill the world with rain?Help me up, don't you let me down
I'm gonna wake up in heaven, not the cold, cold groundCan't you hear the lovers crying in the night?
They spend their whole lives trying, still can't get it right
I don't know where we're going but I guess we'll start
And just to show that I mean it, baby here's my heartHelp me up, don't you let me down
I'm gonna wake up in heaven, not the cold, cold groundLiving on my feelings, feelings all I know
Baby once we touch it, we'll never let it goAre you going to help me or will you let me down?
I'm looking for a true love but am I lost or found?
And will we cry in passion or will we cry in pain?
And will our lonely teardrops fill the world with rain?Help me up, don't you let me down
I'm gonna wake up in heaven, not the cold, cold ground
Help me up, don't you let me down
I'm gonna wake up in heaven, not the cold, cold ground
