Alone until my eighteenth year
She was shy and had a fear
Of things she did not know
But we got it on together
We held each other close at night
And traded dreams each day
I've never been in love before
Don't know if I can do it
But if you let me lean on you
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
Paintin' walls and sippin' wine
With so much love for just two
Soon we found there'd be one more
I've never had a baby before
Don't know if I can do it
But if you let me lean on you
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"
Now it's back to two again
Who looks so much like her
Sometimes it makes me cry
I sleep alone at nights again
And sometimes when I'm about to give in
I hear her sweet voice say, to me
you know you've been alone before
You know that you can do it
But if you'd like to lean on me
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"
