JUST TO BE THERE
Allan

as rec by Helen O'Connell w Hal Mooney & his Orch  
1950's


Just to be there when you need me,
Just to follow where you lead me;
That is all in life I care about,
Where you and I'll be somewhereabout!

Just to answer when you're calling,
Maybe catch you if you're falling;
Let me share each big and little task,
That's all I ask of you!

Here or there,
Anywhere,
I'll travel far and wide!
Poor or rich,
Don't care which,
If I am by your side!

Just to be there when you need me,
Just to follow where you lead me;
I will offer thanks in every prayer
That I am there with you!

Just to answer when you're calling,
Maybe catch you if you're falling;
Let me share each big and little task,
That's all I ask of you!

Here or there,
Anywhere,
I'll travel far and wide!
Poor or rich,
Don't care which,
If I am by your side!

Just to be there when you need me,
Just to follow where you lead me;
I will offer thanks in every prayer
That I am there with you!
