When I am down
And need to cry
I wish you’d hold me close by
And whisper in my ear
To tell me you are near.
I need to know that you love me
I need to know that you care
And that no matter what
You will always be there.
I can’t go through life alone,
And with my father never around
You are my stable ground.
The time we share is never enough
And sometimes I think
You couldn’t give a stuff.
I love you more than words can say
Please never, ever go away.
Tell me you are here to stay
And that you’ll take more time
To listen, to love and to learn
About what goes on in my world each day.
For I don’t think it’s fair
That we should have to pay
For the time you spend away.
