Whitesnake

Songwriter: Adrian Vandenberg David Coverdale

Producer: Keith Olsen Mike Clink

When I look back on everything I've done
I know you must have cried a river of tears
But you were there when I was feeling low
To walk me through my darkest fears

So when the sun goes down
An' those nights grow colder
I will be there
Looking over your shoulder

And the deeper the love
The stronger the emotion
And the stronger the love
The deeper the devotion

There were times I almost let you go
When I thought I needed to break free
But you were there to whisper in my ear
Why don't you share your dreams with me?

So when the sun goes down
And those nights are growing colder
I will be there
Looking over your shoulder

And the deeper the love
The stronger the emotion
And the stronger the love
The deeper the devotion

I don't mind what you're doing to me
I don't mind 'cause you're all I can see
I don't mind, baby you mean the world to me

When the sun goes down
And those nights are growing colder
I will be there
Looking over your shoulder
Baby, baby, baby

So when the sun goes down
And those nights are growing colder
I will be there
Looking over your shoulder

'Cause the deeper the love
The stronger the emotion
And the stronger the love
The deeper the devotion

The deeper the love
The stronger the emotion
And the stronger the love
The deeper, the deeper
The deeper the devotion

I never gonna let you go
In my heart, I know
I really love you, I love you
Ooh babe, I really love you
Ooh, huh huh

Whitesnake are a rock band formed in England in 1978 by David Coverdale, after his departure from his previous band Deep Purple. Their early material has been compared by critics to the blues rock of Deep Purple, but they slowly began moving toward a more commercially accessible rock style. By the turn of the decade, the band’s commercial fortunes changed and they released a string of UK top 10 albums, Ready an' Willing (1980), Come an' Get It (1981), Saints & Sinners (1982) and Slide It In (1984), the last of which was their first to chart in the US and is certified 2x platinum.
