[Intro: Aretha Franklin & Elton John]
Oh, oh, oh, oh yeah yeah yeah
Ooh, yeah yeah, oh
Ooh baby
Ooh baby, mmm
[Verse 1: Elton John, Aretha Franklin & Both]
In this world it's hard, you know
Lovers come and lovers go
People never seem to hold on to what they've got, no no
Some they never stay together
You and I will be no better
We can make it last forever
We can keep this love alive
[Chorus: Aretha Franklin & Elton John]
Through the storm
Through the tears
You and I
I know we can survive
To the day
Through the night
If we try we can keep it alive
We can keep it alive
[Verse 2: Aretha Franklin, Elton John & Both]
I know sometimes it's been so tough
We've been so close to giving up
Hey, but our love's so strong
And we keep holding on, yeah
To what we got, ooh ooh ooh
It's easier to walk away
It takes a lot of love to stay
Ah, we've got all the love it takes
We know there's a brighter day
[Chorus: Aretha Franklin & Elton John]
Through the storm
Through the tears
You and I
I know we can survive
To the day
Through the night
If we try we can keep it alive
We can keep it alive
[Bridge: Aretha Franklin & Elton John]
We just gotta be strong
We just gotta be strong
We just gotta be strong together
We just gotta hold on
We just gotta hold on
We just gotta hold on and go through the storm
Yeah yeah, through the storm
Oh, yeah yeah yeah
I know we're gonna make it
[Chorus: Aretha Franklin & Elton John]
Through the storm (Hey)
Through the tears (Through the tears)
You and I (You and I)
I know we can survive
To the day (To the day)
Through the night (To the night)
If we try (Girl, if we try) we can keep it alive
We can keep it alive
Through the storm (Oh, through the storm)
Through the tears (Through the tears)
You and I (Oh, you and I)
I know we can survive
To the day (To the day)
Through the night (Oh, through the night)
If we try (Hey) we can keep it alive
We can keep it alive
Through the storm
[Outro: Aretha Franklin, Elton John & Both]
Ha, woo
You're right on the one, baby
Yep
We made it
We're outta here
Yes
Sing it
Dee-dee, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Dee-dee, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Dee-dee, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
