We live our lives day to day
Too much work and not enough time to play
It's a never ending battle, an uphill climb
The whole world's got a deadline, they're so demanding
Like everyone else, we've got bills outstanding
But honey, we still got one thing that's hard to find
We got real staying power
A love that grows every hour
The power to keep our ship afloat
When the storms go by
We've got real staying power
There's no other love quite like ours
As long as staying power stays
We'll be together for life
Now we've seen so many who want what we've had
It's such a pity when love goes bad
But most folks give up too easy, they don't really try
They both wear their hearts out on their sleeves
It won't be long before one's packing to leave
If only they could find a solution without saying goodbye
They need real staying power
A love that grows every hour
The power to keep their ship afloat
When the storms go by
They need real staying power
They need a love that's more like ours
As long as staying power stays
We'll be together for life
Oh, darling
Long as staying power stays
We'll be together for life
