Early draft
My love won't let you down
(Won't you) (can) Hold still for just one moment my god's sake
I got me a promise I ain't afraid to make
If you got a chance left you ain't afraid to make
I hear you been cryin' at night with your pillow
you run + hide neath that weepin' willow
I'll be your hero I'll be your fool I'll be your clown
The above lyrics are for what appears to be an early draft of MY LOVE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN, as found on a handwritten lyrics sheet that surfaced in 2022. The lyrics consist of 7 lines, including the title "My Love Won't Let You Down", very little of which would end up in the version that was eventually was recorded and released.
An undated Bruce Springsteen handwritten lyrics sheet of this early draft of MY LOVE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN was auctioned by Goldin Auctions in July 2022. Springsteen wrote the lyrics in black ballpoint pen on a sheet of lined notebook paper.
