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 stormIt'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' insaneIn the meantime, babyTeenage 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, babySo I say this prayer"Take hold of me, blessed powers that be
Love keep us together"
"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
I wash away all those innocent dream
Now my whole world turned upside down on meAnd here I pray to some power, they say
Is gonna keep me from goin' insane
I don't think so, childI 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 that your kiss would set me free, babyWell, I've never been so wrong"Take hold of me, blessed powers that be
Love keep us together"
"Take hold of me, blessed powers that be
Love keep us together"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 my love, a serious oversightHigher 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 hereSing together for ever
And a day together
I know one day, we will be together
Me and you drive out
[Incomprehensible] and you see, yeah
