Along until my 18th year, we met four springs ago
She was shy and had a fear, a thing she did not know
But we got it on together in such a super way
We held each other close at night and traded dreams each day
And she said, Rocky, I've never been in love before
Don't know if I can do it
But if you let me lean on you, take my hand
I might get through it, through it
I said, baby, oh sweet baby, it's love that sets us free
And God knows if the world is real
If the world's too dead, your love is safe with me
Found an old grey house and you would not believe the way
We worked at night to fix it up, took classes in the day
Painting walls and sipping wine, sleeping on the floor
With so much love for just two
Soon we found a new home
Found there'd be one more
And she said, Rocky, I've never had a baby before
Don't know if I can do it
But if you let me lean on you, take my hand
I might get through it, through it
I said, baby, oh sweet baby, it's love that sets us free
And God knows if the world should end
Your love is safe with me
We had lots of problems then, but we had lots of fun
Like the crazy party when our baby girl turned one
I was proud and satisfied, life had so much to give
Till the day they told me that she didn't have long to live
She said, Rocky, I've never had a baby before
She said, Rocky, I've never had to die for you
Don't know if I can do it
Now it's back to two again
A little girl and I
Who look so much like her sweet mother
Sometimes it makes me cry
I sleep alone at nights again
I walk alone each day
And sometimes when I'm about to give in
I hear her sweet voice say
To me, Rocky, you know you've been alone before
You know that you can do it
But if you'd like to lean on me
Take my hand, I'll help you through it
Through it
I said, baby, oh sweet baby, it's love that sets us free
And I told you when the world would end
Your love was safe with me
She said, Rocky, you know you've been alone
Before
You know that you can do it
But if you'd like to lean on me
Take my hand
