|
Hold me close, hold me tight |
|
Cause I'm in love with you alright |
|
Lonesome avenue goodbye |
|
Well, I've been taught and I've been told |
|
Just stake a claim and take a hold |
|
Love guarantees a goldmine |
|
I was living a life in black and white |
|
Down the avenue of coloured lights |
|
Came my rendezvous with romance |
|
Well, I thought love was meant to be |
|
A little bit rough on you and me |
|
But now I see that I'm mistaken |
|
Hold me close, hold me tight |
|
Cause I'm in love with you alright |
|
Lonesome avenue goodbye |
|
Well, I've been taught and I've been told |
|
Just stake a claim and take a hold |
|
Love guarantees a goldmine |
|
Well, I told my pa I'm going to hitch my star |
|
Throwing in with my sweetheart |
|
Take a run at being in love in the nineties |
|
'Cause we all heard about modern love |
|
rock 'n' roll and shacking up |
|
I swore I'd never let it get to me |
|
Hold me close, hold me tight |
|
Cause I'm in love with you alright |
|
Lonesome avenue goodbye |
|
Well, I've been taught and I've been told |
|
Just stake a claim and take a hold |
|
Love guarantees a goldmine |
|
I've seen it happen since way back when |
|
Hearts that struggle and break and bend |
|
Turn to stone before it's over |
|
But you and me we draw a different line |
|
Love is here and it's right on time |
|
Just lay your head upon my shoulder |
|
Love guarantees a goldmine |
