Now, if you feel that you can't go on (can't go on)
|
Because all of your hope is gone (all of your hope is gone)
|
And your life is filled with much confusion (much confusion)
|
Until happiness is just an illusion (happiness is just an illusion)
|
And your world around is crumbling down, darling
|
Reach out
|
Reach out, yeah
|
|
I'll be there with a love that will shelter you
|
And I'll be there with a love that will see you through
|
|
When you feel lost and about to give up (to give up)
|
Because your life is just ain't good enough (just ain't good enough)
|
And you feel the world has grown cold (has grown cold)
|
And you are drifting out on your own (drifting out on your own)
|
And you need a hand, a little hand to hold, darling
|
Reach out
|
Reach out, yeah
|
|
I'll be there to love and comfort you
|
And I'll be there to cherish and care for you
|
|
(I'll be there to always see you through) I'll be there
|
(I'll be there to love and comfort you)
|
|
I can tell the way you hang your head (hang your head)
|
You're not in love and now, you're afraid (you're afraid)
|
And through your tears, you look around (look around)
|
Because there's no piece of mind to be around (no piece of mind to be found)
|
I know what you're thinking, but don't think, darling, don't think
|
Reach out
|
Just reach out, yeah
|
|
SPOKEN:
|
Here I am.
|
|
I'll be there to give you all the love you need
|
And I'll be there, you can always depend on me
|
(repeat and fade out)
