Lyrics

(Oh friends, ... don't matter if you're a man or a woman. If you're in love with somebody, These are the words that you got to learn to say. Now listen carefully. Here it comes...) I'll be loving you always With a love that's true, always When the thing you've planned Needs my helping hand, I will understand, always, always Days may not be fair, always Yeah but that's when I'll be there, always Not for just an hour, Not for just a day, Not for just a year, always. I said that I'll be loving you, always With a love that's true, always. When the thing you've planned Needs my helping hand, I will, I will understand, always, always (Oh that's pretty ... that's pretty too ... Oh darling) The days may not be fair, always Yeah but that's when I'll be there, always Not for just a second, or a minute, or an hour, Not for just a weekend and a shake down in the shower, Not for just the summer and the winter going sour, But always, always, always (Ok if you don't want to quit, let's try it one more time) I'll be loving you, always With a love that's true, always. When the thing you've planned Needs my helping hand, I will understand, I will, I will understand, always, always The days may not be fair, always (Don't worry, baby) That's when I'll be there, always Not for just an hour, Not for just a day, Not for just a year, but always.
