YOU'LL STILL BE NEEDING ME
(Gordon Lightfoot)

As recorded Gordon Lightfoot 1999


If I had my way, I would say it's over darlin'
If I could be brave, I would say I'm leaving you
But I must stay on till hope is gone
'Cause girl I know, anywhere you go, you'll still be needing me.

If you find you can't make it on your own my darling
I'll be on your side, when you can't find anyone
But for now let's try, just to get by
Let the tide roll out, let the tide roll in, it's time to sink or swim.

La la la la la, la la la la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la la la la

If I could be strong, I'd be gone tomorrow mornin'
Still I play the part, making like a broken toy
But I must stay on 'til hope is gone
'Cause girl I know, anywhere you go, you'll still be needing me
Let the tide roll out, let the tide roll in, it's time to sink or swim.

La la la la la, la la la la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la la la la.
