Lyrics:

1984 album Homecoming
Writer: Keith Palmer

In a one bedroom apartment, we were sleeping on the floor
It must have crossed your mind that there surely must be more
For all the times you must have wondered if we'd ever make it through
The only words I heard you say were, 'Honey, I love you.'

We were barely holdin' on to the life we tried to make
And, God, I used to wonder how much more you could take
Through it all, you held on to our dreams so desperately
When tomorrow seems so far away, you stood so close by me

When givin' up was easy, you never did give in
You proved how much you loved me time and time again
For all the times you could have gone, you stayed around, but then
When givin' up was easy, you never did give in

Now, the diamonds on your fingers, how they sparkle in the light
But the fire of love inside you is still burning just as bright
Though time has dimmed the memory of how it was before
And yesterday I needed you, today, I need you more

When givin' up was easy, you never did give in
You proved how much you loved me time and time again
For all the times you could have gone, you stayed around, but then
When givin' up was easy, you never did give in
When givin' up was easy, you never did give in
