Things are falling down around me

Everywhere I turn

Money that I need to spend

Don't match the pay I earn

The new contract we signed last Summer's

Already working out of date

And if the layoff rumors at the shop are true

The new guitar will have to wait

Honey, let me tell you I've been down before

Just as sure as I'll be down again

Only wish I had a little more time

Between now and then

Guess I'd have given it all up

If I had to do it on my own

Loving you has got me through

The hard times I have known

And I know that I don't say

The fancy words that I should be saying

To let you know just what you mean to me

But if I could put to words

The sweet music that I can hear playing

Every time your eyes shine down on me

I'd sing a song of love for you and me

(Instrumental [Whistling] Break)

And I know that I don't say

The fancy words that I should be saying

To let you know just what you mean to me

But if I could put to words

The sweet music that I can hear playing

Every time your eyes shine down on me

I'd sing a song of love for you and me

Yes, it's loving you that's got me through

The hard times I have seen

And I thank you for the strength

You've given to me

It's not a long life, though it's a hard life

That the Lord has put us through

But it's a whole lot better because I'm loving you

It's a whole lot better because I'm loving you
