How does it feel to be on you own
While the night slips away
You toss and turn like a ship in the storm
Have you lost your way
I can see by the look in your eyes
Youve been hurt before
Hold me close like the very first time
Cause thats what love is for
Theres no reason to cry cause I'll be there beside you when you need someone
I'd never leave you
I swear that you will be the only one
Through the sorrow and pain just call out my name when you need someone
I'd sleep forever I swear that you would never be the only one when you need
Someone
Sometimes the world can be so cold and you don't know why
Youre reaching out but theres no one to hold in times rushing by
I can see by the look in your eyes you just cant let go
Hold me close and together we'll find just what love is for
There's no reason to cry cause I'll be there beside you when you need someone
I'd never leave you I swear that you would be the only one
Through the sorrow and pain just call out my name when you need someone
I'd sleep forever I swear that you would never be the lonely one when you need
Someone
When you need someone it's a long long day when you need someone
It's a crawl and change
When you need someone you can call out my name
There's no reason to cry cause I'll be there beside you when you need
Someone
