Song Lyrics

Someone's on my mind, oh baby

Meet me there at a half past eight
At our usual place
I really need to see you just one more time
Before we say our goodbyes to all that we have, my baby

Please don't make it harder than it already is
You know I feel the same way about you
We shared both the good times and the bad
But no mountains or valleys or heartaches or pain
Are gonna keep me from loving you

Whatever it takes
We can do it, baby
Whatever it takes
I'll see you through it, yes I will
Whatever it takes, baby

I'll be right here
I'll be here by your side
Through the rain and the fire
Until I take my love to

We've got a lot of those so-called friends
Who try to bring our love to an end
They say, we really never had a chance from the start
But what I feel is real, real in my heart
I can't let you go, no, baby

Each and every night I knelled down and pray
For our love to grow stronger each day
No one ever said that loving you would be so easy
We've had laughter and tears, ups and downs through the years
But I'll never stop lovin' you

Whatever it takes
You know we can do it, baby
Whatever it takes
I know I'll see you through it, yes I will
Whatever it takes, baby

I'll be right here
I'll be here by your side
Through the rain and the fire
Until I take my love to

We've come too far to turn back now
It's sad that what we've always been
Nothing in this world will keep us down
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no baby
We gotta hold on, stay strong
Never give up on love

Whatever it takes
I know we can do this
Whatever it takes
I know I'll see you, baby
I'll see you through it, yes, I will

Whatever it takes, baby
There'll be days in the week it don't matter, baby
'Cause I know, I know, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'll be here by you side
Through the rain and the fire
I gotta take my love to you

Whatever it takes
Oh my, my, my, my, my, my, my baby
Please, please stay with me
Whatever it takes
I'll be here, right by you side
'Til the end of time
