What is the name of this sad song from the 1970's ?

Question

Partial lyrics go .... I've never died before , don't know if I can do it .... Now it's just the two of us the little girl and I .... The song is sung by a man . I believe it's about a guy and girl falling in love and getting married .They have a little girl and the wife finds out she's dying. I'm thinking it's called "Rocky". THANKS

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

I think the song is from the early 70s group Bread (with David Gates--no relation to Bill...haha! ). "Lost and all alone...." is a partial lyric in my mind (gawd, that was soooo long ago, tooo). Bread did some cool folksy mellow stuff, some groovy; some sad.

Alone until my eighteenth year, we met four springs ago
She was shy and had a fear, of things she did not know
But we got it on together in such a super way
We held each other close at night, and traded dreams each day
She said Rocky I've never been in love before, don't know if I can do it
But if you let me lean on you take my hand I might get through it, through it
I said baby, oh sweet baby it's love that sets us free
And God knows if the world should end your love is safe with me

We found an old grey house, and you would not believe the way
We worked at night to fix it up, took classes in the day
Painting walls and sipping wine, sleeping on the floor
With so much love with just too, soon we found there'd be one more

And she said Rocky I've never had a baby before, don't know if I can do it
But if you let me lean on you, take my hand I might get through it, through it
I said baby, oh sweet baby it's love that sets us free,
and God knows if the word should end your love is save with me.

We had lots of problems then, but we had lots of fun
Like the birthday party, when our baby girl turned one
I was proud and satisfied, life had so much to give
Till the day they told me that she didn't have long to live
She said Rocky I never had to die before don't know if I can do it

Now it's back to two again my little girl and I
Who looks so much like her sweet mother, sometimes that makes me cry
I sleep alone at nights again, I walk alone each day
And sometimes when I'm about to give in, I hear her sweet voice say to me

Rocky you know you've been alone before, you know you can do it
But if you'd like to lean on me, take my hand I'll help you through it, through it.
I said baby, oh sweet baby it's love that sets us free
And God knows if the world should end, your love is safe with me

She said Rocky you know you've been alone before...
