  • Mm, yeah

    When there's clouds hangin' in the sky
    And they're just not lettin' any light in
    And you feel like you'd like to give in
    Don't you give up so soon
    What you need is a friend to count on
    What you got baby you got someone
    Who will stay when the rain is fallin'
    And won't let it fall on you

    I'll see you through
    I'll cover you
    With a love so deep and warm and true
    I will be there, oh

    Honey, I'll be your shelter
    I'll be the one to take you through the night
    Whenever you need shelter
    I'll make everything alright, make everything alright, yeah

    Na, na, na-na-na-na
    Na, na, na-na-na-na
    Na, na, na-na-na-na
    Na-na-na, na-na-na

    I got arms strong enough to hold you
    Get you through anything you go through
    Anything that you need, you know
    It's only a touch away
    When your heart needs a heart beside it
    Should be mine that's it's keepin' time with
    'Cause I got so much love inside
    It beats for you every day

    I'll be the one
    To give you love
    When it seems like there's just not enough
    Mine will be there, oh

    Honey I'll be your shelter
    I'll be the one to take you through the night
    Whenever you need shelter
    I'll make everything alright, make everything alright, yeah

    Na, na, na-na-na-na

    I'll be your shelter, be your shelter, baby

    I'll see you through
    I'll cover you
    With a love so deep and warm and true
    Mine will be there, oh
