When the time is upon us
To believe in what we are
You can leave the past behind us
'Cause it's gone
And the risin' wind of freedom
That blows stronger from the south
'Cause the time I've been without you
Has been too long

It's been weeks on end alone
Since I last laid eyes on you
And I missed you like the devil
Night and day
We'll be rollin' down the line
Tryin' to get back home on time
I'd love to hold you
And hear you say

Just say you'll stay with me tonight
'Cause I know the morning's light
Will shine down upon this new love that we've found
All our friends will want to know
Where the sadness and the heartache go
Everybody's gonna want to know
Just what we've found
Just say you'll stay with me tonight
'Cause I know the morning's light
Will shine down upon this new love that we've found
All our friends will want to know
Where the sadness and the heartache go
Everybody's gonna want to know
Just what we've found

Won't you help me with my time
It's so hard to be alone
When the easy things in life are almost gone
Miles flyin' one by one
Like the good things that we've done
I know I'm gonna see you by tomorrow's dawn

Just say you'll stay with me tonight
'Cause I know the morning's light
Will shine down upon this new love that we've found
All our friends will want to know
Where the sadness and the heartache go
Everybody's gonna want to know
Just what we've found

Say you'll stay with me tonight
'Cause I know the morning's light
Will shine down upon this new love that we've found
All our friends will want to know
Where the sadness and the heartache go
Everybody's gonna want to know
Just what we've found
