I was laughing
Laying in the streets, I wasn't knowing
I didn't know my fate
Playing the game of love, but never really showing
The thought that love was great
I was a young man and sure to go astray
You walked right into my life and told me love would find a way
CHORUS:
To keep on growing, keep on growing, keep on growing
I was standing
Looking in the face of one who loved me
Feeling so ashamed
Hoping and praying, Lord, that she could understand me
But I didn't know her name
She took my hand in hers and told me I was wrong
She said, you're gonna be all right boy, oh just as long
As you ...CHORUS
SOLO ON VERSE
A D G G D E ...SOLO ON CHORUS
Lady, someday, baby, who knows where or when, Lord
Just you wait and see
We'll be walking
Together hand in hand along the way, love
Hope it's still me
This time is gonna change us, Lord, and I know it's true
Our love is gonna keep on growing and growing
and it's all because of you ...CHORUS TWICE
LONG SOLO ON: A D A D
NOTE: This is exactly the same as the excellent previous entry, but
put into a consise one page format.
