"Desert Rose Band" - "Hard Times" written by Chris Hillman Bill Wildes Jon Bradford Hard times can hold us down forever Hard times are gonna fade away. Hard times we can let them stop us darlin' There will be a better day. Tell me Love me These days I need you more then ever before don't give up on me. Nobody else - could ever love you more - than I - do We all need someone. Someone to believe in - this life that we are sharing That's all love and trust. If it takes a lifetime - I will never stop my trying there's a better life for us. Hard times can hold us down forever Hard times are gonna fade away. Hard times we can let them stop us darlin' There will be a better day. There will be a better day. SOLO High as the wild birds fly - wild and free that's how I dream I got to keep on dreaming We can have - what we cannot see tomorrow On a highest mountain. On a highest mountain - we can watch those wild bird fly We can drift away. Find our own new sky - as long as you are with me I'll never stop dreaming. Hard times can hold us down forever Hard times are gonna fade away. Hard times we can let them stop us darlin' There will be a better day. There will be a better day.
