Is it that we′ve been together much too long The answer may not be in black and white We′re always tryin′ to prove who′s right or wrong And now we′re givin′ up without a fight
But I know when you′re gone I wish I held on So baby surrender to me There′ll be no holding back now So baby surrender to me Tonight
I don′t want our love To cause you so much pain If this is how it′s gonna be I′ll walk away Oh neither one of us Should ever say goodbye Let′s forget about the past and who′s to blame
Cause when this is all gone We′ll wish we′d held on So baby surrender to me There′ll be no holding back now So baby surrender to me Tonight
How could this love be in danger Used to be so good So right To think that faith could make us strangers Slowly in your arms Tonight
So baby surrender to me There′ll be no holding back now So baby surrender to me Tonight
Whenever I′m weary from the battles that rage in my head You make sense of madness when my sanity hangs by a thread I lose my way but still you seem to understand Now and forever I will be your man.
Sometimes I just hold you Too caught up in me to see I′m holding a fortune that heaven has given to me I′ll try to show you each and every way I can Now and forever I will be your man
Now I can rest my worries and always be sure That I won′t be alone anymore If I′d only known you were there all the time All this time
Until the day the ocean doesn′t touch the sand Now and forever I will be your man Now and forever I will be your man
My mother came to Hazard when I was just seven Even then the folks in town said with prejudiced eyes That boy′s not right ... Three years ago when I came to know Mary First time that someone looked beyond the rumours and the lies And saw the man inside ... We used to walk down by the river She loved to watch the sun go down We used to walk along the river And dream our way out of this town ... No one understood what I felt for Mary No one cared until the night she went out walking alone And never came home ... Man with a badge came knocking next morning Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly Pointed right at me ... I swear I left her by the river I swear I left her safe and sound I need to make it to the river And leave this old Nebraska town I think about my life gone by And how it′s done me wrong There′s no escape for me this time All of my rescues are gone, long gone I swear I left her by the river I swear I left her safe and sound I need to make it to the river And leave this old Nebraska town ...
