KEEP ME FROM BLOWING AWAY
|
WRITER PAUL CRAFT
|
|
Well I spent my whole lifetime
|
In a world where the sunshine
|
Finds excuses for not hangin' 'round
|
I squandered emotions
|
On the slightest of notions
|
And the first easy loving I found
|
But soon all the good times
|
The gay times and play times
|
Like colors run together and fade
|
Oh Lord if you hear me
|
Touch me and hold me
|
And keep me from blowing away
|
There's times when I trembled
|
When my mind remembered
|
The days that just crumbled away
|
With nothing to show
|
But these lines that I know
|
Are beginning to show in my face
|
Oh Lord if you're listening
|
I know I'm no Christian
|
And I ain't got much coming to me
|
So send down some sunshine
|
Throw out your lifeline
|
And keep me from blowing away
|
Oh Lord if you hear me
|
Touch me and hold me
|
And keep me from blowing away
|
