“We Loved It Away” Lyrics
All my friends told me we’d never make it;
That love, to you, was just a game you played.
And I’ll admit at times we had rough goin’,
But in each other’s arms we loved it away.
And I’ve been told my love could never hold you;
To tie it down’s a price you’d never pay.
And I’ll admit there’s times when you got restless,
But in each other’s arms we loved it away.
Step by step we walked the road together.
Hand in hand, our love grew more everyday
When trouble came we held on to each other,
And in each other’s arms we loved it away.
And in each other’s arms we loved it away.
