Give Up

Cool Hand Luke

[?] the town too early
[?] givin' up way to soon
I don't know what you're going through
Please know that I am there for you
Oh God I've given all I can
Won't hurt to understand
This love you give to us each day
Is more then we can comprehend
I can't carry on this way
I need you more and more each day
Oh God come and heal our hearts
Times were hard and they just got harder
Learn from mistakes in the past
Just have faith and God will lead you
Through a life of joy and happiness
Oh God I've given all I can
Won't hurt to understand
This love you give to us each day
Is more then we can comprehend
I can't carry on this way
I need you more and more each day
Oh God come and heal our hearts
Every night I pray for you
Hold my hand, we'll make it through
Every night I pray for you
Hold my hand, we'll make it through

    the first line is "You threw in the towel too early". The second line is "You've given up way too soon." At least that's what my ear tells me.

    this is so great when I hear this. I first just figured that it wasn't cool hand luke and that somebody just put that name on the song, some dumb pop punk high school band, but the more I listened to it, I realized that it is chl, it's so funny...

    it's from a demo they put out a LONG ol' time ago. other songs on the demo are "Listen to Her", "Waisting Time", and "Yesterday is Gone". they perform exactly none of these songs now.

    anything before 'Wake Up...' is practically worthless.
