I'd like to pack this in And take you to the stars We'll eat at fancy restaurants And drive in fancy cars We tried our luck We made a buck So lean back have some fun. (Oh yes my love But first just this last one.) We stood on this cliff in a starless night I held your hand in my mine... So stand by me with all your heart I need you by my side Over the river is cold and black And the bottom is a long way down (Another one, going underground...) Why can't we cut the ropes And let that poor fool go. (Don't you go getting weak on me Not when i need you so.) We stood on this cliff in a starless night I held your hand in my mine... So stand by me with all your heart I need you by my side (Dont lose your step Now we're almost there Go wash Your face And comb your hair So trust me now, believe in me Forever more your love You have pledged to me. We stood on this cliff in a starless night I held your hand in my mine... So stand by me with all your heart I need you by my side We'll stay at home And call this day our own listen to a record and watch a candle burn I'm feeling kind of drowsy There's blood on the floor. And when I'm gone You still will have my love forevermore My Love, Forevermore My Love, Forevermore
