Be You
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.
I'll be your imagination
If you forget how to pretend
And when you only got a beginning
I'll be your end
Everything falls apart
I'll be your brand new start
And all you gotta do baby is be you
All you gotta do baby is be you
I'll be your every kind of money
When you're down to your last dime
I'll be your year or two
When you're running out of time
And if your star don't ever shine
You'll still be that little light of mine
And all you gotta do baby is be you now
All you gotta do baby is be you
I'll come up with something
As long as you are somewhere
No matter where or when you need me
I'm gonna get it there
I'll be your grandeur ladies sugar
When you're craving something sweet
If you are out of sync
I'll get you back on the beat
You're still my horse in case
You never ever win a race
But all you gotta do baby is be you
All you gotta do baby is be you
I'll be your super fast express
When your train is running slow
When the signs all say stop
I'll make 'em all say go
If your star don't ever shine
You'll still be that little light of mine
But all you gotta do baby is be you now, just be you
All you gotta do baby is be you
All you gotta do baby is be you, just be you
All you gotta do baby is be you
All you gotta do baby is just be you
