Save Me Save Me
Dusty Springfield · Other Songs - Dusty Springfield
Now you've gone there ain't no-one
Oh, to make it right
The way you do
Every day I fall more in love with you
Knowing that you left this heart of mine
You captured at the start
And I know you know
That I can't get through
Am I livin' a lie when I reach for you?
You gotta save me, save me
Only you can keep me warm
Above the storm
You gotta save me, save me
You know there ain't a world enough
Without your love, ooh, hoo, hoo, love
Gonna lay my head
Try to rest my heart
Dream my dreams
But they're all of you
And they fall apart
The way I do
Every night I fall more in love with you
I'm praying for the day you turn around
And make your love all mine
And when I'm going down for the very last time
You can throw me a line
You can keep me alive
You gotta save me, save me
Only you can keep me warm
Above the storm
You gotta save me, save me
You know there ain't a world enough
Without your love
When do I get to be near you?
For all time
Hear what you say again
And I know you know
That I can't get through
Am I livin' a lie when I reach for you?
And when I'm goin' down for the very last time
You can throw me a line
You can keep me alive
You gotta save me, save me
Only you can keep me warm
Above the storm
You gotta save me, save me
You know there ain't a world enough
Without your love, ooh, hoo, hoo
You gotta save me, save me
Only you can keep me warm
Above the storm
You gotta save me, save me
You know there ain't a world enough
Without your love
