Píseň: As Sure As I'm Standin' Here

Interpret:
Barry Manilow
Album:
Tryin' To Get The Feeling ‎
Sometimes I look at you
Sad and so beautiful
Young and alone
And so far from home


Much too much for you
Much too soon
Empty eyes gazin' at
The moon


As sure as I'm standin' here
You'll never have to be afraid
As sure as I'm standin' here
I'll try and help you find your way


Oh I swear as sure as I'm standin' here
You'll never need to be alone
You've got my word
As sure as I'm standin' here


Sometimes I look at you
Sleepin' like a baby
Your hair combed with sunlight
Full of sweet days


You say nothin' matters
Say you know how it is
Did you think it would be
Like this?


But sure as standin' here
You'll never have to be afraid
As sure as I'm standin' here
I'll try and help you find your way


Oh I swear as sure as I'm standin' here
You'll never need to be alone
You've got my word
As sure as I'm standin' here
Oh I swear as sure as I'm standin' here
