We know that there's always tomorrow

Those of your needs

Somebody to lean on

We all need somebody to lean on

C              F

If there is a load

you have to bear

That you can't carry

I'm right up the road

I'll share your load

             G    C

If you just call me

Call me, if you need a friend

 F    C

Call me…
