Here's another one for my darling.
Life can be hard with its twists and turns, its obstacles, the occasional catastrophes. But a good partner can sure make you feel like you can swim through it all and that nothing in this world will get the better of us. Hope that's true. Musically speaking I lifted large chunks of the progression from a chart of some old jazz tune someone had handed me. Love that old school jazz. Dan Kellar really shines on this one. Alec too! I love the interplay between them. |
Nothing In The World Can Keep Us Down
Stay with me my darling do not weep
Though storms may roll about us while we sleep
And if a storm breaks in where we lay
I'll build a boat to sail us both away
And if a reef should strike our boat below
Down into the deep I guess we'll go
Hand in hand we'll swim, we'll never drown
Cause nothing in this world can keep us down
Stay with me my darling do not fret
Though the past will not let us forget
And if your memories disturb your sleep
I'll find another promise I can keep
It's true we never see around the bend
Who knows how long before we reach the end
Hold me tight if troubles shake the ground
Cause nothing in this world can keep us down
Stay with me my darling do not weep
Though storms may roll about us while we sleep
And if a storm breaks in where we lay
I'll build a boat to sail us both away
And if a reef should strike our boat below
Down into the deep I guess we'll go
Hand in hand we'll swim, we'll never drown
Cause nothing in this world can keep us down
Stay with me my darling do not fret
Though the past will not let us forget
And if your memories disturb your sleep
I'll find another promise I can keep
It's true we never see around the bend
Who knows how long before we reach the end
Hold me tight if troubles shake the ground
Cause nothing in this world can keep us down
