Some songs just get love. They don’t sugarcoat it or dress it up in fairy tales—they tell it like it is. Staying Together is one of those songs. It doesn’t just celebrate love in its easy, dreamy moments; it honors the resilience, the commitment, and the choice to hold on even when life makes it tough.
The song carries a warmth that feels like a deep breath after an argument, a quiet “I’m sorry” whispered in the dark, or the simple, unspoken understanding between two people who’ve been through it all and still choose each other. It’s not about grand gestures or fleeting passion—it’s about the kind of love that stays. The kind that weathers storms, embraces imperfections, and finds beauty in the everyday.
With lyrics that speak to both the struggles and joys of lasting love, Staying Together feels like an anthem for anyone who’s fought for their relationship and won. The melody, rich with emotion, mirrors the ups and downs of love itself—sometimes soaring, sometimes soft and tender, but always steady. It’s the kind of song that makes you want to squeeze your person’s hand a little tighter, hold them a little closer, and remind them, “We’re in this for the long haul.”
Whether it brings back memories of your own love story or simply reminds you of what real devotion looks like, Staying Together isn’t just a song—it’s a promise

Lyrics
We do it for the children down the hall
Neither one of us could stand to see them cry
We do it for your mom and dad
There’s more hearts to think about than yours and mine
Staying together is what we’re supposed to do
We both know better
When it comes to me and you
There ain’t nothing sadder
There ain’t nothing colder
Staying together don’t mean it ain’t over
People say that we’re the perfect pair
They ain’t seen us sleeping in our separate beds
We still talk like there ain’t nothing wrong
But now love’s the only word that’s never said
Staying together is what we’re supposed to do
We both know better
When it comes to me and you
There ain’t nothing sadder
There ain’t nothing colder
Staying together don’t mean it ain’t over
There ain’t nothing sadder
There ain’t nothing colder
Staying together don’t mean it ain’t over
