I'LL BE THERE
(King / Glick / Jones)


Damita Jo - 1961





You can reach the top 
Or suddenly drop 
All your burdens I'll gladly bear 

Just run to my arms 
Yeah, right or wrong 
No matter what happens, I'll be there 

And darlin', darlin', I'll be there 
Whoa, I'll be there 
To protect this love we share 

If your friends desert you 
Yes, when things go wrong 
You can always be sure I care 

When you face each dawn 
And you think you can't go on 
You know I'll, I'll be there

Oh, darlin', darlin', I'll be there 
Yes, I'll be there 
I'll always, I'll always be there 

(Instrumental Break) 

And darlin', darlin', I'll be there 
Whoa, I'll be there 
Yes, I'll always, I'll always be there 

Whenever you're in trouble, darlin' 
I'll be there, you know I'll be there 
I'll always, I'll always be there 
Oh, oh, yeah ........FADE
 

**This was an 'answer song to Ben E. King's 1960 hit "Stand By Me"
