Rocky

Austin Roberts

(Stevens)



-Austin collaborated on the 70's cartoon

series "Scooby Doo" and "Josie & the Pussycats".



Alone until my eighteenth year

We met four springs ago

She was shy and had a fear

Of things 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 should end

Your love is safe with me"



We found an old gray house

And you would not believe the way

We worked at night to fix it up

Took classes in the day

Paintin' walls and sippin' wine

Sleepin' on the floor

With so much love for just two

Soon we 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 to die before

Don't know if I can do it..."



Now it's back to two again

The little girl and I

Who looks 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...
