LOVE KEEPS HANGING ON
(Merle Haggard)


Merle Haggard - 1986





Lately I've been losin' the darkness in my hair
The years are catchin' up with you and me, but we don't care
We're growin' old together, but we won't be alone
In lots of ways we've fallen off, but love keeps hangin' on

Lately I've been watchin' the strands of time unwind
The years are catchin' up with you and me, but we don't mind
We're growin' old together, but we won't, we won't be alone
In lots of ways we've fallen off, but love keeps hangin' on

We still love to dance a slow three-quarter time
But my old legs won't climb the hills they used to climb
I could be mistaken, but our tender years are gone
In lots of ways we've fallen off, but love keeps hangin' on

(Instrumental Break)

I could be mistaken, but our tender years are gone
In lots of ways we've fallen off, but love keeps hangin' on
