Song Description

Keeping faith and love alive in a relationship where one partner was the stronger one and then loses that strength and the other partner has to be strong.

Lyrics

You were my heart, you were my soul, you were my being.
You were my knowing, touching, hearing, and my seeing.
I didn't know myself, and didn't care to.
I wouldn't show myself; I didn't dare.
I was a child inside, tho' years showed on my face.
You led that hungry child, into a warm and loving place.

And there I blossomed and I grew,
Trusting the love that came from you.
Until one sad and lonely day
Your strength began to slip away.

I didn't know if we'd survive, if I had strength to get thru.
Could you believe in me, the way that I believed in you?

Now I'm your heart, now I'm your soul. now I'm your being,
Now I'm your knowing, touching, hearing, and your seeing.
And so I take good care of you,
Rememb'ring all the joys we've known
If I can ease your pain, I might not have to feel my own.

Now that the tables have been turned,
I long for lessons to be learned.
Together we'll survive,
If we can KEEP OUR LOVE... ALIVE.
