Never Give Up

Ron Sexsmith


Of foolish dreams 
I'm done with these 
Of childish things 
I've set them free 

Filed them away in the past 
Gave up on all that don't last 
Save for just one thing 
There's something that I'd never do 

I'd never give up on you 
Though they try to break us in two 
Never give up on you 
Whatever I do 

Come early spring 
I bailed on that 
From apron strings 
I freed my hands 

And woke from the spell that cast 
I kicked that habit at last 
Oh, but I would stick by you 
Wherever you lead me to 

Never give up on you 
The world may try to break us I two 
I'd never give up on you, darlin' 
Whatever they do 

I'd never give up on you 
Because I know you'd do the same for me 
Never give up on you 
Because you take me as I am 
How I'll always be 

When times are bad 
When things go wrong 
What makes you sad 
Will make me strong 

I'm keeping an eye on your tears 
Sweeping up all this broken mirror 
Our luck may not come through 
But that's something that I'd never do 

I'd never give up on you 
Though they try to break us in two 
Never give up on you, darlin'
Whatever I do 
Never give up on you
