Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love, ooh baby, ooh baby
In this world it's hard you know
Lovers come and lovers go
People never seem to hold on to what they've got, no no
Some they never stay together
You and I will be no better
Oh we can keep this love alive
Through the storm
Through the tears
You and I
I know we can survive
To the day
Through the night
If we try we can keep it alive
We can keep it alive
I know sometimes it's been so tough, yeah
We've been so close to giving up
Hey, but our love's so strong and we keep holding on, yeah
To what we got, ooh
It's easier to walk away
It takes a lot of love to stay
We've got all the love it takes
We know there's a brighter day
Through the storm
Through the tears
You and I
I know we can survive
To the day
Through the night
If we try we can keep it alive
We can keep it alive
We just gotta be strong
We just gotta be strong
We just gotta be strong together
We just gotta hold on
We just gotta hold on
We just gotta hold on and go through the storm, yeah, yeah
Through the storm
Oh whoa oh, yeah, yeah, yeah I'm never gonna make
Through the storm
Through the tears (ooh through the tears)
You and I (you and I)
I know we can survive
To the day (to the day)
Through the night (to the night)
If we try (girl if we try) we can keep it alive
We can keep it alive
Through the storm (through the storm)
Through the tears (through the tears)
You and I (oh you and I)
I know we can survive
To the day (to the day)
Through the night (oh through the night)
If we try, hey, we can keep it alive
We can keep it alive
Through the storm
Whoo, you're right on the one baby,
Yup, we made it, we're outta here, yes, sing it
