YOU'VE GOT ME FOR COMPANY
(Billy Preston / Bruce Fisher) 
Martha Reeves


Tiny tears are gathered in the corners of your eyes 
The smile upon your lips is just your heartache in disguise 
But lonely you need never be if you'd only realize 
You've got me for company 

I suppose that no one knows the sorrow you have felt 
Lost among the shuffle as the cards of fate were dealt 
Like lemon drops falling on the sun, all your emptiness will melt 
You've got me for company 

CHORUS: 
Oh no, little darlin', just be yourself with me 
I'm on hand to understand you (this line x2 1st time, x3 2nd time) 
You've got me for company 

In the mornin' when you wake up, you won't be alone 
I'll wake up beside you to hold you tight & keep you warm 
We can take & we can make this empty house a home 
You've got me for company 

(chorus)
