I love lyrics and songs.  I think they have a powerful way of bringing me back to a memory, a moment in time, or thinking about the ones I love.  I was looking through my music collection and stopped at "Have a Little Faith in Me."  It's been awhile since I sat and just listened the lyrics, and I have to say, it made me smile.  This song is not too cheesy, and it is not too sappy, but in my opinion it is one of the few ballads that represents true love.  

The song doesn't claim that the road might not get bumpy or that things won't get tough.  It doesn't claim that you should always be able to put your feelings into words.  And, it doesn't say that there won't be times when sadness is all you can feel.  Life is not always an easy road and I don't think that we should pretend that it is.  Love, also, can not cure all things.  I believe that is an unrealistic expectation to have.  What I love about this song, is it only asks of love..... one thing.

 It simply asks to have a little faith in me.

I believe that faith in your partner is not believing that they always save the day and make the worries disappear.  The faith lies in knowing that your partner will always be by your side through the good times and the bad.  That faith is understanding that you will never have to go through this journey alone.  That faith is very simple, but it's very real.  And for me, that kind of faith, is a very beautiful thing.

When the road gets dark 

And you can no longer see 

Let my love throw a spark 

And have a little faith in me 

When the tears you cry 

Are all you can believe 

Just give these loving arms a try baby 

And have a little faith, faith in me 

Have a little faith in me 

Have a little faith in me 

And have a little faith in me 

Have a little faith, faith in me 

When your secret heart 

Cannot speak so easily 

Come here baby 

From a whisper, start 

To have a little faith in me 

And when your back's against the wall 

Just turn around and you, you will see 

I will catch your, I will catch your fall 

Just have a little faith, faith in me 

Have a little faith in me 

Have a little faith in me 

Have a little faith in me 

Have a little faith, have faith in me 

Well, I've been loving you 

For such a long, long time 

Expecting nothing in return 

Just for you to have a little faith in me 

You see time, time is our friend 

Cause for us there is no end 

All you gotta do is 

Have a little faith in me
