BY TONY JOE WHITE AND MICHAEL MCDONALD

SOMETHING DEEP INSIDE, KEEPS ME HANGIN' ON
DON'T BELIEVE I'VE EVER SEEN A NIGHT SO LONG

GUESS I TRIED TO FLY HIGH ABOVE THE CLOUDS
BUT I LANDED HERE IN THE MORNIN' RAIN AT YOUR DOOR
AND I KNOW I LET YOU DOWN AGAIN
BUT RIGHT NOW YOU KNOW I NEED A FRIEND

I DON'T KNOW WHY
I GUESS I JUST LOSE MY WAY
AND YOUR EYES DON'T BELIEVE A WORD I SAY
I CAN'T IMAGINE WITHOUT YOUR LOVE
WHERE WOULD I BE NOW

DID YOU EVER KNOW
I ALWAYS LOOKED UP TO YOU
AND AFTER ALL THIS TIME IT REMAINS TRUE
THERE'S NO COMPROMISE
NO TURNING BACK FOR ME
BUT THROUGH THE VAIL OF MY PRIDE
SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO SEE
AND I KNOW YOUR LOVE IS ALL I NEED
SO WHEN I FALL DON'T STOP BELIEVING IN ME

â'‚¬?CAUSE YOUR LOVE IS WHAT'S HELPIN' ME SURVIVE
YOUR FAITH IN ME IS WHAT KEEPS MY HOPE ALIVE
AND WITHOUT YOUR LOVE
WHERE WOULD I BE NOW

WELL I KNOW YOUR LOVE IS WORTH FIGHTIN' FOR
AND IF IT TAKES FOREVER I WILL WAIT AT YOUR DOOR
â'‚¬?CAUSE YOUR LOVE IS WHAT'S HELPIN' ME SURVIVE
YOUR FAITH IN ME IS WHAT KEEPS MY HOPE ALIVE
AND WITHOUT YOUR LOVE
WHERE WOULD I BE NOW
