Duet with aretha franklin Written by albert hammond and diane warren Released as a single in 1989 In this world it's hard you know Lovers come and lovers go People never seem to hold on to what they've got Some, they never stay together But you and i well we know better We can make it last forever We can keep the love alive Through the storm Through the tears You and i I know we can survive To the day Through the night If we try We can keep it alive We can keep it alive I know sometimes it's been so tough We've been so close to givin' up But our love's so strong We're holdin' on to what we got It's easier to walk away It takes a lot of love to stay We got all the love it takes We know there's a brighter day We just got to be strong We just got to be strong We just got to be strong together We just gotta hold on We just gotta hold on We just gotta hold on and go through the storm
