DESCRIPTION:
This is one of my favourite songs from songwriter Jim Pembroke, who was one of the best rock song writer/composer in Finnish music business at 70's and 80's.
This song is taken from Finnish soul singer Timo Kojo's album Time won't wait.
IT KEEPS A GROWIN
-----------------
(Jim Pembroke)
Just like a flower high on a mountain top
Be my love - it keeps a growin
And like a midnite train, that will never stop
Well you know - it keeps a rollin
Like the spinning wheels on a Cadillac car
Well you know - it keeps a turnin
And like a summer fire on a beach at nite
Well my love - it keeps a burnin
Chorus:
Babe without your love
There ain't no good at all
All the good times
Like the leaves in fall
Like one, two, three, it's you and me
it keeps a growin
it keeps a grovin
Just like a flower high on a mountain top
Be my love - it keeps a growin
Like a midnite train, that will never stop
Well you know - it keeps a rollin
Chorus:
Like a honey bee looking for that flower
My love for you grows hour by hour
Like a sunny day in the month of may
Ooh babe - it keeps a growin
it keeps a growin
Like a midnite train, that will never stop
Well you know - it keeps a rollin
Like the spinning wheel on a Cadillac car
Well you know - it keeps rollin
Chorus:
Babe without you love
There ain't no good at all
All the good times
Like the leaves in fall
Like one, two, three, it's you and me
Babe it's you and me
it keeps a growin
it keeps a grovin
it keeps a growin
it keeps a grovin
