Just a Word Away
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.
Plenty of time to turn out the light,
I want to keep this feeling inside,
For a little more,
It must be a Daddy's pride and joy,
A little baby boy,
Is lying in my arms here tonight;
Tears in my eyes when I saw you being born,
So much emotion, words cannot form,
So I'll let it be,
Only to say it's you and me, for eternity,
I wish you a wonderful life,
And I'm only, I'm only, I'm only,
Just a word away;
I will be near whenever you call,
Pick you up whenever you fall,
'Till the day will come,
You'll think you're out there
On your own, but you're not alone,
Remember that I will be here,
And I'm only, I'm only, I'm only,
Just a word away;
Your sister Rosanna's fast asleep,
So it's time for me,
To whisper I love you, goodnight,
And I'm only, I'm only, I'm only,
Just a word away, just a word away...
