Not Gonna Give In To It
Olivia Newton-John · Gaia-One Woman's Journey [1997]
No me voy a rendir
Oh, I'm not gonna give in to it
No, I'm not gonna give in to it
Not gonna give in to it, no
Not gonna give in to it
There are nights when the moon
Shines in my eyes and haunts my mind
And I can't sleep a wink
And I really don't want to think
There are times when I feel
If I sleep I'll die
But I dare not cry
And I run from my tears
And I fight them back with my fears
Repeat Chorus
And I feel so alone
For although you care
No one can share
It's my own misery
In the end it's all up to me
Repeat Chorus
And I watch you sleeping soundly
So peacefully unaware
And your breath is soothing to me
And it's good to know you're there
Then the morning comes
With it's golden light
And I feel alright
And my heart beats again
But the night is not my friend
Repeat Chorus
Not Gonna Give In To It
