Love Keep Us Together - Martin Sexton

Hold me tight don’t say goodnight

And I’ll let you know that I care

Stay 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’ll keep me from going 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 we got no direction from home baby

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 would bring us a baby boy

Wash away all those innocent dreams

As the whole world turns upside down on me

And here I pray

To some power they say

Is gonna keep me from going insane

I don’t think so child

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’d dreamed that your kiss would set me free

I’ve never been so wrong

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’m the one to love to hold him tight

To discount my 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, strong, it’s here to stay

Together forever and a day
