Come Hell or High Water
Lyrics & Music by Scott Nielsen


Verse 1.
Times have been tough, money’s been tight
It’s not all that we had hoped for
So the kids will not want you and I go without
We’re just keeping the wolf from the door
I’ve been showing the strain. In your eyes I see doubt
It’s putting our love to the test
But if you think I’m a quitter, if you think I could leave
Let me put your mind at rest
Chorus
Come hell or high water, win lose or draw
I’ll be here tomorrow, I’m in for the long haul
Not a fair weather lover, just when skies are blue
Come hell or high water, I’ll be here for you

Verse 2.
With all we’ve been through there’s been some give and some take
Sometimes I’ve taken more than I gave
I haven’t told you enough how you’re pulling your weight
The way that you scrimp and you save
I can’t make it all right, turn the dark into light
But one thing I know I can do
Cross my heart and hope to die
I make this promise to you

Chorus

Bridge
We’ll get through all these troubled times
That seem like endless night
It may not be tomorrow but we’ll get there all right
But I need you to believe in me the way I believe in you
So I’ll say it over and over again
Until the message gets through
Chorus

Scott Nielsen Bordentown, New Jersey

"I'm a 50's rocker and never was told how to grow up and when to grow old . . ." to quote one of my tunes and it sums me up pretty well. I have been writing songs since the early 60's. In the 70's I wrote children's songs for Captain Kangaroo. I have been a writer and publisher ASCAP member since 1973.

I write across several genres: country, rock and adult alternative. ... more
