Michael Franks - As Long As We're Both Together (song video)

Michael Franks - The Music in My Head (Shanachie, 2018)
1. As Long As We're Both Together (composed by Michael Franks)
Some say the odds are against us
Some pray our love-at-first-sight will not last
We know the past cannot harm us
As long as we're both together
Sometimes the wind tries to break us
Sometimes we walk right into friendly fire
But our desire won't forsake us
As long as we're both together
It may be cliche´ to say
Our love is stronger than Gibraltar
Deeper than the deep blue sea
But me--I believe it
If you read the history
That tells the tale of you and me
We conquer all adversity together
As long as we're both together
Now we are here in this moment and
Although no one avoids every minor key
Every crazy concerto, we play
Through the song together
Inside these beautiful mountains
With the sky as our blue periphery
The path leads us forward
As long as we're both together
If I exaggerate I do
Because the love I feel for you
Continues to proliferate inside me
The lyricists* I quote with
Admiration both invoke me to express
The joy I feel with you beside me
As long as we're both together
