Be There

(album: Donny Hathaway - 1971)

Don't promise to be mine for Christmas
Or even mine at all
Just be there
Darling, be there
Don't whisper words that are clever
Designed to make me fall
Please, be there
Darling, be there

Willing to walk beside me
When I can't find my way
Taking your hand to guide me
Day after day after day, hey hey hey hey hey hey

And if your heart should tell you
That you really care
Please, be there
Darling, be there
Just be there
Darling, be there

Willing to walk beside me, baby
When I can't find my way
Taking your hand to guide me
Day after day after day, hey hey hey hey hey hey

And if your heart should tell you
That you really care
Please, be there
Darling, be there
Just be there
Darling, be there

Darling, be there
I'm depending on you
To be there with me
Baby baby
Just be there
