Don't Let Our Love Start Slippin' Away
Vince Gill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All night long
Trying to solve a problem
Hell, it's almost dawn
Ain't no time for sleepin'
If our love is wearin' thin
'Cause I ain't givin' up
You ain't givin' in
Don't let our love start slippin'
Love start slippin' away
'Cause the life we've been livin'
Gets harder everyday
Don't let our love start slippin'
Love start slippin' away
A wounded love
Walks a real thin line
And no communication
Will kill it every time
So open up your heart
Baby, we can work it out
'Cause we've got the kind of love
People dream about
Don't let our love start slippin'
Love start slippin' away
'Cause the life we've been livin'
Gets harder everyday
Don't let our love start slippin'
Love start slippin' away
It's past the point of right or wrong
Let's find a way to just hold on, yeah
Don't let our love start slippin'
Love start slippin' away
'Cause the life we've been livin'
Gets harder everyday
Don't let our love start slippin'
Love start slippin' away
Don't let our love start slippin'
Love start slippin' away

We've been up

'Cause I ain't givin' up
And you ain't givin' in
Don't let our love start slippin'
Love start slippin' away
'Cause the life we've been livin'
Gets harder everyday
Don't let our love start slippin'
Love start slippin' away
A wounded love
Walks a real thin line
And no communication
Will kill it every time
So open up your heart
Baby we can work it out
'Cause we've got the kind of love

Love start slippin' away
'Cause the life we've been livin'
