Lyrics

Staying Power
(Amy Abernathy 2014)

Sitting on the porch's on bottom stair,
Smell of a storm brewing in the air.
I don't want to be on lonely street.
Wish we could talk honestly.

I needed you to put my mind at ease,
Leave no doubt that I can see.
The dark shadows came creeping in,
leaving darkness for my heart to live in.

(Chorus)
All we need is a little Staying power,
Pray to God in our darkest hour.
Oh, don't give up on me.
Baby can't you see,
We just need some staying power..

I'm choked up because I've been replaced.
It's funny how my thoughts have been retraced.
For what seems like centuries you haven't been around.
Time spent away from you is getting me down.

Baby our break up was a catastrophe,
I'd give anything if you'd come back to me.
I really think I made a mistake.
My hearts locked up and in chains.

(Chorus)
All we need is a little Staying power,
Pray to God in our darkest hour.
Oh, don't give up on me.
Baby can't you see,
We just need some staying power...

(Bridge)
Yeah, she doesn't know you,
The way I do.
Let's give it a chance and see it through.
(Chorus)
All we need is a little Staying power,
Pray to God in our darkest hour.
Oh ,don't give up on me.
Baby Can't you see,
We just need some staying power.
