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 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 will keep me from goin' 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 I got no direction from home 

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 gonna bring us a baby boy 

Wash away all those innocent dreams 

Now my whole world is turned upside-down on me 

And here I pray 

To some power they say's gonna keep me from goin' insane 



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 dreamed your kiss would set me free 

Well I've never been so wrong 



Chorus 



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 by 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 and strong and here to stay
