Somebody Counts On Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Everything is going brightly now
Everything is going straight
But you know I must think twice right now
It's really getting quite late
CHORUS:
And I must take my leave of you now
There's someone I've got to see
There's no more that I can give to you now
Because somebody counts on me
Sleepy mornings in the summer
You have been good to me it's true
But you know I can't sit any longer
There's more to summer days than you
CHORUS
It doesn't matter what news you have to tell me
Or what songs you have to sing
Or what goods you have to sell me
Or even what goods you have to bring
CHORUS
Someday when all my work is over
And all my songs are sung
And there's nothing more to bother me
Then I'll do some counting in return
And I must take my leave of you now
There's somewhere I'v got to be
There's no more that I can give to you now
Because somebody counts on me
REPEAT CHORUS
