You'll Still Be Needing Me After I'm Gone

(альбом: Belafonte By Request - 1970)

If I had my way
I would say "It's over darling"
If I could be brave
I would say "I'm leaving you"

But I must stay on
'Till all hope is gone
'Cause girl I know
Anywhere you go
You'll still be needing me

If you find you can't make it
On your own my darling
I'll be on your side
When you can't find anyone
But for now
Let's try just to get by

Let the tide roll out
Let the tide roll in
It's time to sink or swim
La la la la la, la la la la lalalala
La la la la la, la la la la lalalala
If I could be strong
I'd be gone tomorrow morning
Still I play the part
Making life a broken toy

But I must stay on
'Till all hope is gone
'Cause girl I know
Anywhere you go
You'll still be needing me

Let the tide roll out
Let the tide roll in
It's time to sink or swim
La la la la la, la la la la lalalala
La la la la la, la la la la lalalala
