Carole King — Ties That Bind

[Verse 1] Once I heard long, long ago That love's so hard to find But if you got it, don't let go All the ties that bind [Verse 2] The times when I can hold you In my heart and in my mind Are the times when I can really know you And leave the rest behind [Bridge] Go on and make believe if you want to It's a real good sign And stay with me if you'd like to Come put your hand in mine [Verse 3] Down on the sidewalk, out on the street Needing a connecting line You tie up with some other people you meet And the day begins to shine All the ties that bind [Outro] The day begins to shine In my heart and in my mind All the ties that bind All the ties The ties that bind
