Joe Henry - Love Don't Let Me Down lyrics

[Verse 1] I've never been the lucky one Watched my dreams all turning round While they left me alone Thinking they'd come someday Well, it turns out I was wrong Time don't wait for anyone Now I stand here like a school kid hoping That it's not late There goes my heart again As foolish as it's ever been Always leading me some place that I just couldn't stay But I'm not gonna look behind There's nothing there I wanna find I just stand here and face you and promise To not run away [Chorus] Under the sun There ain't nothing new There's lovers and leavers, moments forgotten And dreams that don't ever come true Even though I'm afraid I'm gonna stand my ground And if it's not asking too much Love, don't let me down [Verse 2] Now here I am in front of you Just hoping that my best will do I'm a good man, loving man That just needs someone to hold I can see it in your face Your love can fill up this empty space In the years up ahead Don't have to feel so damn alone [Chorus] Under the sun Oh, there ain't nothing new And maybe it's crazy to keep chasing after These dreams that don't ever come true Even though I'm afraid I'm gonna stand my ground And if it's not asking too much Love, don't let me down
