In the heat of the moment
They tell me you've touched the face of God
Like the sound of a rope cracking on your neck
They tell me you'd never give it up
Like the song that was soul singing in your head

So honey please don't let go
Or you'll fall into the dead of night
So honey please don't let go
You'd better learn to fly
'Cause they're gonna point you up at the sky

The more that you want it
The more that you need it
I know you'll be by my side
In the heat of the moment when the thunder and [bad word] 
I know that you'll be by my side

That loving man ain't no rolling stone
Of the sound of the [bad word] I'm gonna set you free
I talk to him on the telephone
These are the words he gave to me

So honey please don't let go
Or you'll fall into the dead of night
So honey please don't let go
You better learn to fly
'Cause they're gonna point you up at the sky

The more that you want it
The more that you need it
I know you'll be by my side
In the heat of the moment when the thunder and [bad word] 
I know that you'll be by my side

The more that you want it
The more that you need it
I know you'll be by my side
In the heat of the moment when the thunder and [bad word] 
I know that you'll be by my side
