I'LL DO ANYTHING
(Gordon Lightfoot)

As recorded by Gordon Lightfoot
1982

Down in the warm dark part of my heart you stay
I've been on my own for so long as I stand here today
I'd never leave you, I'll do anything that you say.

I've been around some walkin' on down the street
Feeling as low as the shoes on the soles of my feet
Taking dead aim on fortune and fame you might say
Playing guitar doesn't make you a star anyway.

(bridge)

Many's the time I've wished that I were free
But my love for you was too deep for my eyes to see
I'd never leave you, I'll do anything that you say.

Whenever the thought seems better off left alone
I think of you then in a way that is ten times as strong
Takin' dead aim on fortune and fame you might say
Playing guitar doesn't make you a star anyway.

(bridge)

I'd never leave you, I'll do anything that you say
Try to believe me, I'll do anything that you say
Though it might never grieve me, I'll do anything that you say
Please understand me, I'll do anything that you say.
