I love the words to this song because they speak a truth about marriage. One spouse is giving it their all and begging for the forgiveness and patience of the other spouse. "Don't give up on me." My favorite part of the song is when the singer says "You're the only one who can ever love the Devil out of me."
Just wanted to share this with anyone out there who is asking their significant other or spouse to please.... Don't give up on me.
THE PICTURES ON THE WALL
THEY DON’T SHOW IT ALL
THEY DON’T TELL THE WHOLE STORY
NOT THE UPS AND DOWNS
OR THE TURNAROUNDS
THAT IS YOU AND ME
THEY SHOW THE SMILING FACES
AND THE PRETTY PLACES
THAT WE’VE BEEN
NOT YOU’RE CRYING EYES
OR MY LYING EYES
THEY DON’T SHOW THE THING YOU SEE……
THERE’S A NEW MAN I WANT YOU TO SEE
JUST DON’T GIVE UP ON ME
YOU’VE SEEN MY MANY STAGES
ALL THE CHANGES THAT I HAVE BEEN
THROUGH
OH……. MY DAYTIME TROUBLES
MY NIGHTTIME STRUGGLES
EVERY WAR I HAVE FOUGHT'EN
YOU HAVE FOUGHT'EN TOO
THAT’S WHY I AM DOWN HERE ON MY
KNEES
DON’T GIVE UP ON ME
LIKE THE SUN WON’T GIVE UP ON THE
LIGHT
SEAS WON’T GIVE UP ON THE TIDE
BABY, THAT’S JUST YOU AND I
DON’T GIVE UP ON ME
BECAUSE IN MY DARKEST HOUR
YOU’RE THE ANGEL THAT I NEED
YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN EVER
LOVE THE DEVIL OUT OF ME
SO DON’T GIVE UP ON ME
DON’T GIVE UP ON ME
PLEASE DON’T GIVE UP ON ME
I KNOW YOU NEED A MAN THAT CAN BE
STRONG
AND I’M THE ONE YOU CAN DEPEND ON…
ALWAYS DEPEND ON
SO DON’T GIVE UP ON ME
LIKE THE SUN WON’T GIVE UP ON THE
LIGHT
SEAS WON’T GIVE UP ON THE TIDE
BABY, THAT’S JUST YOU AND I
DON’T GIVE UP ON ME
BECAUSE IN MY DARKEST HOUR
YOU’RE THE ANGEL THAT I NEED
YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN EVER
LOVE THE DEVIL OUT OF ME
SO DON’T GIVE UP ON ME
THE PICTURES ON THE WALL
THEY DON’T SHOW IT ALL
THEY DON’T TELL THE WHOLE STORY

ReplyDeleteAhhhh thank you soooo much!!!!
ReplyDeleteWho is that song by?
ReplyDeleteTommy Garrett cowrote it. he's a DJ in New Bern, NC
ReplyDeleteThank goodness I found this! I've been looking for days and days for this song, and listening to Pandora non-stop hoping it would have come back on with the name. Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteTy also, my husband n I just separated a few months ago. He told me that this song was how he felt. He told me the title, but I've not heard the song yet. I've been searching for it but couldn't find it. I never can catch it playing on the radio either. So now I at least know the words so thank you for taking the time to do this. It helps me to know how he feels. It really touched my heart when I read these lyrics.:) :)
ReplyDeleteMy husband is incarcerated and I have been looking for this song because he could only remember parts to tell me how he felt about me. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteThe song is no longer on itunes. Can someone share a link for download?
