Give Me One Reason

by Neil Young

Give me one reason to live without Him
Give me one reason to walk away
I know you don't understand this feeling
How can I show
That He is the reason I have to let you go
I've tried so hard to change your mind
I always thought that you'd understand the reasons why
Why I don't want to do the things that I used to do
Now that my heart and my soul belong to God and God alone
Still every night's a fight to make it through
I can't deny I'm still in love with you
But how can you expect me to
Walk with Him and give myself to you
Give me one reason to live without Him
Give me one reason to walk away
I know you don't understand this feeling
How can I show
That He is the reason I have to let you go
Boy, I still long for your embrace
But what I've found in God, oh, it could never ever be replaced
Still I pray for the chance
As you slip through my hands you'll come around
But your heart's so far away from the words I'm trying to say
Wish I could hold you both and still be true
There's only one thing left for me to do
Baby, I love you
But I can't stay with you unless you love Him too
Give me one reason to live without Him
Give me one reason to walk away
I know you don't understand this feeling
How can I show
That He is the reason I have to let you go
I've found the path that I've gotta take
No turning back, back to the old ways
Got a chance to take
Sacrifice to make
Whatever it takes I won't turn away
Give me one reason to live without Him
Give me one reason to walk away
I know you don't understand this feeling
How can I show
That He is the reason I have to let you go
Give me one reason to live without Him
Give me one reason to walk away
I know you don't understand this feeling
How can I show
That He is the reason I have to let you go

Give Me One Reason

Give me one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around
Said I dont want leave you lonely
You gotta make me change my mind
Baby I got your number
Oh and I know that you got mine
You know that I called you
I called too many times
You can call me baby
You can call me anytime
You got to call me
Give me one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around
Said I dont want leave you lonely
You gotta make me change my mind
I dont want no one to squeeze me
They might take away my life
I dont want no one to squeeze me
They might take away my life
I just want someone to hold me
Oh and rock me through the night
(Guitar)
This youthful heart can love you
Yes and give you whatcha need
I said this youthful heart can love you
Oh and give you what you need
But I'm too old to go chasing you around
Wasting my precious energy
Give me one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around
Said I dont want leave you lonely
You gotta make me change my mind
Baby just give me one reason
Oh give me just one reason why
Baby just give me one reason
Oh give me just one reason why I should stay
Said I told you that I loved you
And there aint no more to say
