Solid


And for love's sake
each mistake you forgave.
And soon both of us learn to trust.
Not run away
it was no time to play

We build it up and build it up and build it up.

And now it's solid
solid as a rock.
That's what this love is
that's what we've got.
Solid
solid as a rock
and nothing changed it
The thrill is still
hot
hot hot
hot
hot hot hot hot.

You didn't turn away when the sky went gray.
Somehow we managed
we had to stay together.
you didn't bat an eye when I made you cry

We knew down the line
we would make it better.
And for love's sake
each mistake you forgave. . . .
And now it's solid
solid as a rock. . . .

Gone with the wind

Another friend got in between and tried to seperate us.
Knock knock on wood
you understood

Love was so new
we did what we had to.
And with that feeling we were willing to take a chance.
So against all odds we made a start.
We got serious
this wouldn't turn to dust

We build it up and build it up and build it up.
And now it's solid
solid as a rock. . . .
Solid
solid as a rock;
solid
solid as a rock
Solid
solid as a rock;
solid
solid as a rock
Solid
solid as a rock;
solid
solid as a rock.
