Song title: My love will not let you down
My love will not let you down
At night I go to bed
But I just can’t sleep
I got something runnin’ around my head
Ooh that just won’t keep
In the silence I hear my heart beatin’
Time slippin’ away
I got a time bomb tickin’ deep inside of me
I gonna tell you what I wanna say
I keep searchin’ for you darlin’
Searchin everywhere I go
And when I find you there’s gonna be just one thing that you gotta know
One thing you gotta know
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
At night I walk the streets lookin’ for romance
But I always end up stumblin’ in a half trance
I search for a connection in some new eyes
But they’re hard for protection from too many dreams passed by
I see you standin, across the room watchin’ me without a sound
I’m gonna push my way through that crowd
I’m gonna tear your holy walls down
Tear all your walls down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
Well hold still now darlin’
Hold still for God’s sake
Cause I got me a promise
I ain’t afraid to make
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down Notes:
