Then with you my love
And there's nothing in the world that I would rather see
Than you smile my love
For united we stand. Divided we fall
And if our backs should ever be against the wall
We'll be together, Together, you and I
For united we stand. Divided we fall
And if our backs should ever be against the wall
We'll be together, Together, you and I
And if the world around you falls apart my love
Then I'll still be here
And if the going gets too hard along the way
Just you call I'll hear
For united we stand. Divided we fall
And if our backs should ever be against the wall
We'll be together, Together, you and I
For united we stand. Divided we fall
And if our backs should ever be against the wall
We'll be together, Together, you and I

There's no where in the world that I would rather be
I can't think of any other place I would want to be
Then with you my love
than by your side, my love

I can't think of anything else I would want to look at
Than you smile my love
than to see you smile, my love

So rich and smooth! Just love the harmony in the chorus! What's the accentuated "A" in the chorus called, is it alto? Whatever it is it is divine!!!

I remember this song from when I was young. I guess that I dug the music and lyrics, even back then.
