Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was laughing
Playing in the streets
I was unknowing
I didn't know my fate
[Verse 2]
Playing
The game of love
But never really showing
I thought that love would wait
[Verse 3]
I was a young man and I was sure to go astray
You walked right into my life and told me love would find a way
Oh, yes, it will
[Verse 4]
And to keep on growin'
A-keep on growin'
A-keep on flowing
[Verse 5]
I was standing
Looking at the face
Of one who loved me
Feeling so ashamed
[Verse 6]
Hoping
Praying, Lord, that she
Could understand me
But I didn't know her name
[Verse 7]
She took my hand in hers and then told me I was wrong
She said, "You're gonna be alright, boy, whoa, just as long
[Verse 8]
As you keep on growin'
A-keep on goin'
A-keep on growin'"
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 9]
Baby
Someday, baby
Who knows where or when, Lord
Just you wait and see
[Verse 10]
We'll be walking
Together hand in hand
In love forever
Woman, just you and me
[Verse 11]
Time's gonna change us, Lord, and I know it's true
Our love is gonna keep on glowing
And growin'
'Cause all we gotta do
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 12]
Keep on growing
Keep on goin'
A-keep on flowing
Yeah, yeah, yeah
A-keep on flowing
A-keep on goin'
A-keep on flowing
