1. Alone until my eighteenth year, we met four springs ago,
G D G D
she
was shy and had a fear of things she did not know.
G
D G D
But we got it on together in
such a super way,
G D G D
we
held each other close at night and traded dreams each day.
And she said,
C - G
"Rocky, I've never been
in love before, don't know if I can do it,
D G G7
but
if you let me lean on you, take my hand, I might get through it."
C G
I said, "Baby, oh, sweet
baby, it's love that sets us free,
D
C G
and
God knows, if the world should end, your love is safe with me."

2. We found an old gray house and you would not believe the way,
G D G D
we
worked at night to fix it up, took classes in the day,
G
D G D
paintin' walls and sippin'
wine, sleepin' on the floor,
G D G D
with
so much love for just two, soon we found there'd be one more.
And she said,
C - G
"Rocky, I've never had a
baby before, don't know if I can do it,
D G G7
but
if you let me lean on you, take my hand, I might get through it. “
C G
I said, "Baby, oh, sweet
baby, it's love that sets us free,
D C G
and
God knows, if the world should end, your love is safe with me."

3. We had lots of problems then, but we had lots of fun,
G D G D
like
the birthday party, when our baby girl turned one.
G D
G D
I was proud and satisfied, life had so much to give,
G D G D
'till the day they told me that
she didn't have long to live.
She said,
C - G
"Rocky, I've never had to
die before, don't know if I can do it..."

4. Now it's back to two again, the little girl and I,
A E A E
who
looks so much like her sweet mother, sometimes it makes me cry.
A E A E
I sleep alone at nights again, I walk alone each day,
A E
and
sometimes when I'm about to give in,
A
E
I hear her sweet voice say, to
me ...

"Rocky, you know you've
been alone before,
A
you
know that you can do it,
E A A7
but
if you'd like to lean on me, take my hand, I'll help you through it.”
D Dm A
I said, "Baby, oh, sweet
baby, it's love that sets us free.
E D A
And God knows if the world should
end your love was safe with me."
