Never Give Up
Of foolish dreams
I’m done with these
Of childish things
I’ve set them free
Filed them away in the past
Gave up on all that don’t last
Save for just one thing
There’s something that I’d never do
I’d never give up on you
Though they try to break us in two
Never give up on you
Whatever I do
Come early spring
I bailed on that
From apron strings
I freed my hands
Woke from the spell that cast
And I kicked that habit at last
Oh, but I would stick by you
Wherever you lead me to
Never give up on you
The world may try to break us in two
I’d never give up on you, darlin’
Whatever they do
I’d never give up on you
Because I know you’d do the same for me
Never give up on you
Because you take me as I am
How I’ll always be
When times are bad
When things go wrong
What makes you sad
Will make me strong
I’m keeping an eye on your tears
Sweeping up all this broken mirror
Our luck may not come through
But that’s something that I’d never do
I’d never give up on you
Though they try to break us in two
Never give up on you, darlin’
Whatever I do
Never give up on you
