I was laughing, playing in the streets, I was unknowing; I didn't know about things. Then he came along, but never really showed me, I thought that love could wait. I was a young girl. I was sure to go astray. You walked right into my life and told me Love would find a way, find a way, yeah. Gotta keep on growing, Keep on growing, gotta keep on growing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was standing, looking in the face Of one who loved me, feeling so ashamed. Hoping, I pray the Lord, that he could understand me, And I didn't know his name. He took my hand in his and told me I was wrong. He said, you're gonna be all right girl, Oh just as long, just as long... Gotta keep on growing, Keep on growing, gotta keep on growing, Yeah, yeah, yeah. Baby, someday maybe, who knows where or when, Lord, Just you wait and see. Let me hold you, Together hand in hand, alone forever; 'Cause I want just you and me. This time is gonna change it all, I know it's true; Our love is gonna keep on growing And growing's all we gotta do, all we gotta do, yeah. Oh, got to keep on growing, Gotta keep on growing, gotta keep on growing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Gotta keep on growing, Keep on growing, gotta keep on growing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Gotta keep on growing, gotta keep on growing, Staring, looking in the face of the one that loved me. Gotta keep on growing, Gotta keep on growing, gotta keep on growing, oh yeah, I was a young girl, You said love will find a way, Love will find a way. Gotta keep on growing...

No point in dreaming if you're alone No point in walking without the road No point in crying without that someone there beside you Saying it will be ok I'll take my time I'll take my time You cannot rush What can't be timed And its tough believing There's someone living out there Happier than me Happier than me We may be lost And gone forever The rain will wash our memory But when we cry We cry together Like it was meant to be I woke up last night from a dream That we'd grow old on bleecker street Sit by the fire and I'd play my guitar But dreams are only dreams And then I wonder when we leave Will the moon still be white And the river green Sometimes I wonder if we matter at all If we're not written down Who will remember now We may be lost And gone forever The rain will wash our memory But when we cry We cry together Like it was meant to be We may be lost And gone forever The rain will wash our memory But when we cry We cry together Like it was meant to be

I was laughing Playing in the streets, I was unknowing I didn't know my fate Playing The game of love but never really showing I thought that love would wait I was a young man and I was sure to go astray You walked right into my life and told me, 'love would find a way' Keep on growing, keep on going, keep on flowing I was standing Looking at the face of one who loved me Feeling so ashamed Hoping Praying, Lord, that she could understand me But I didn't know her name She took my hand in hers and then told me I was wrong She said, 'You're gonna be alright, boy, whoa, just as long.' Keep on growing, keep on going, keep on flowing Yeah, yeah, yeah Baby Baby Someday, baby, who knows where or when, girl Just you wait and see We'll be walking Together hand in hand alone as lovers Will it still be me? Times gonna change us, Lord, and I know it's true Our love's gonna keep on glowing And growing is all we're gonna do Keep on growing, keep on glowing, keep on flowing Yeah, yeah, yeah

Pick up your guitar And sing me a song This was groover's paradise Now the groover is gone Was a cool little city But time marches on Growing Growing Gone Hold up your shovels They're plated in gold We're breaking new ground today Hear the bull-dozers roll Smile for the camera With your sunglasses on Growing growing gone Cranes on the skyline Popping up through the trees Grackles on the tables Vultures on the breeze You just can't buy cool Straight off the rack Once the music's over It ain't coming back Pick up your guitar And I'll throw you a five How do you do it, man? I don't know how you survive So many people and it won't be too long Growing growing gone But if you can't cut it here I guess you'll have to move on Growing growing gone
