(Tony Joe White And Michael McDonald)

Something deep inside, keeps me hangin' on

Don't believe I've ever seen a night so long

Guess I tried to fly high above the clouds

But I landed here in the mornin' rain at your door

And I know I let you down again

But right now you know I need a friend



I don't know why

I guess I just lose my way

And your eyes don't believe a word I say

I can't imagine without your love

Where would I be now



Did you ever know

I always looked up to you

And after all this time it remains true

There's no compromise

No turning back for me

But through the vail of my pride

Sometimes it's hard to see

And I know your love is all I need

So when I fall don't stop believing in me



'cause your love is what's helpin' me survive

Your faith in me is what keeps my hope alive

And without your love

Where would I be now



Well I know your love is worth fightin' for

And if it takes forever I will wait at your door

'cause your love is what's helpin' me survive

Your faith in me is what keeps my hope alive

And without your love

Where would I be now
