V5.5

[Intro – horns swell, tambourine shake] (Lead – spoken) Listen… I’ve got something to say… --- [Verse 1] I’ve been holding back the words I need Like a fire I was scared to feed Every time I turned away I could feel it pull me back to stay You keep walking like you don’t see All the love you’re leaving here with me But I won’t let it slip away Not without a word to say --- [Pre-Chorus] (Lead) Can you feel it getting stronger now? (Backing) Stronger now! (Lead) Can you hear it calling out somehow? (Backing) Hear it now! --- [Chorus] Don’t let this love fall down Don’t let it hit the ground We’ve come too far to turn around Don’t let this love fall down Don’t let it fade away Don’t let it slip today If there’s a chance we’ve gotta stay Don’t let this love fall down --- [Verse 2] Every night I lie awake and think How we came so close to the brink But there’s something we can still repair If we’re brave enough to care You don’t have to run and hide From the truth you feel inside All it takes is one more try One more chance before goodbye --- [Chorus] --- [Break – call & response] (Lead) Do you want it? (Backing) Want it! (Lead) Do you need it? (Backing) Need it! (Lead) If you feel it, let it show! (Backing) Let it show! --- [Bridge – gospel lift] (Lead) There’s a light we can’t deny Even when we try to hide If we stand and face it now We can find a way somehow (Backing – rising harmony) Find a way… find a way… (Lead – stronger) We don’t have to lose it all We can rise before we fall --- [Instrumental Break – horns + rhythm groove] --- [Final Chorus – full power] Don’t let this love fall down Don’t let it hit the ground We’ve come too far to turn around Don’t let this love fall down Don’t let it fade away Don’t let it slip today If there’s a chance we’ve gotta stay Don’t let this love fall down --- [Outro – ad libs + backing vocals] (Lead) Don’t you let it… don’t you let it go… (Backing) Don’t let it fall… (Lead) Hold on now… hold on tight… (Backing) Don’t let it fall down…
