KEEP ON GROWING by Eric Clapton and Bobby Whitlock
I was laughing,
Laying in the streets, I wasn't knowing;
I didn't know my fate.
Playing
The game of love, but never really showing
The thought that love was great.
I was a young man and sure to go astray.
You walked right into my life and told me love would find a
way
To keep on growing, keep on growing, keep on growing.
I was standing,
Looking in the face of one who loved me,
Feeling so ashamed.
Hoping,
And praying, Lord, that she could understand me,
But I didn't know her name.
She took my hand in hers and told me I was wrong.
She said, you're gonna be all right boy, oh just as long
As you keep on growing, keep on growing, keep on
growing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Lady,
Someday, baby, who knows where or when, Lord,
Just you wait and see.
We'll be walking,
Together hand in hand along the way, love.
Hope it's still me.
This time is gonna change us, Lord, and I know it's true;
Our love is gonna keep on growing and growing
and it's all because of you.
Keep on growing, keep on growing, keep on growing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Keep on growing, keep on growing, keep on growing.
