Lyrics
IF EVER YOU NEED ME
Verse 1
For as long as I remember, I've been dreaming all my life,
Of loving someone like I love you, and holding you each night.
But somehow fate keeps slipping through these weathered hands of mine,
So I pour my heart into this song and leave these words behind.
Chorus
If ever you should be lonely,
If your only friends are gone,
If it feels like no one needs you,
And you can't find the strength to carry on,
Just think back to those younger days,
When the world was still brand new,
I said I'd always love you then,
And that promise still rings true.
Verse 2
We both knew it couldn't happen,
At least not back in those days,
You were running wild and free,
Following your own sweet ways.
I could never hold the wind,
Or make the restless river stay,
So I watched you chase your dreams,
As mine slowly slipped away.
Chorus
If ever you should be lonely,
If your only friends are gone,
If it feels like no one needs you,
And you can't find the strength to carry on,
Just think back to those younger days,
When the world was still brand new,
I said I'd always love you then,
And that promise still rings true.
Bridge
Life has a funny way of turning,
Bringing old roads back around,
And sometimes what we've been searching for
Is where it all began.
Final Chorus
If ever you should need me,
Darlin', don't forget to call,
'Cause I'll always love you more than anyone at all.
Through every mile and every memory,
No matter what we go through,
If ever you should need me,
I'll still be here for you.
Outro
Yeah, if ever you should need me,
I'll still be here for you.
