'Til I Can Make It On My Own

This song came along at a time when I really Needed the song to help me through some troubled times And at a time when I really believed in what I was writing So the song is special to me I'll need time to get you off my mind And I may sometimes bother you Try to be in touch with you Even ask too much of you from time to time Now and then Lord, you know I'll need a friend Till I get used to losing you Let me keep on using you Till I can make it on my own I'll get by But no matter how I try There'll be times you know I'll call Chances are my tears will fall And I'll have no pride at all, from time to time But they say Oh, there'll be a brighter day But till then, I'll lean on you That's all I mean to do Till I can never make it on my own Surely someday, I'll look up and see the morning sun Without another lonely night behind me Then I'll know I'm over you and all my crying's done No more hurting memories can find me But till then Lord, you know I'm gonna need a friend Till I get used to losing you Let me keep on using you, till I can make it on my own Till I can make it on my own
