Lyrics
?Here to stay?
Verse 1
We?ve lived our life livin life as much as we could
We took some chances ? didn?t always do what we should
We risked it all and when we won, we risked it all again
Never goin down the easy road, never wanting it to end
Verse 2
We listened to the words of the music that gave us life
We learned to trust, we learned to love and we learned to fight
We fought the world when the world tried to break our souls
Grabbing hard for life, living strong and livin whole
Chorus
So when our time is done
And we?ve said all we gotta say,
Still we?ll know
That our love is here to stay
? Repeat
Verse 3
We created life, we gave them love and we gave them hope
We taught them all to think and we told them of the lure of the dope
We taught them to survive, then we gave em over to the world
Telling them to love each other telling them to remember the truth
Verse 4
That the family is the center of strength that we all live on
It is our safety in a world gone way beyond
And from it take the lessons of those that went before
Go out into your life but don?t you ever close the family door
So when their time is done
And they?ve said
All they gotta say,
Still they?ll know
That their love is here to stay
? Repeat
Verse 5
So listen to me people while I tell you what I gotta say
There?s no easy path, you gotta struggle all the way
But if you live your life in love, the way I know you could,
You got an even chance of getting by and maybe doin some good
And when your time is done
And you?ve said
All you gotta say,
Still you?ll know
That your love is here to stay
? Repeat
Baby, baby, hear me ?
When my time is done
And I?ve said
All I gotta say,
Still I?ll know
That our love is here to stay
Rockin ?
When my time is done
And I?ve said
All I gotta say,
Still I?ll know
That our love is here to stay
Rockin ?
When my time is done
And I?ve said
All I gotta say,
Still I?ll know
That our love is here to stay
Fadin ?
When my time is done
And I?ve said
All I gotta say,
Still I?ll know
That our love is here to stay
Fadin ?
When my time is done
And I?ve said
All I gotta say,
Still I?ll know
That our love is here to stay
?Here to stay?
