Reach Out I'll Be There Lyrics
Michael Bolton
Lyrics
Now if you feel that you can't go on
Because all of your hope is gone
And your life is filled with much confusion
Until happiness is just an illusion
And your world around you is crumblin' down
Darling reach out, darlin' reach out for me
I'll be there
To give you all the love you need
And I'll be there
You can always count on me
When you feel lost and about to give up
'Cause your best just ain't good enough
And you feel the world has grown cold
And you're driftin' out all on your own
And you need a hand to hold
Darlin' reach out, darlin' reach out for me
I'll be there
With the love that will shelter you
I'll be there
With all the love that will see you through
I can tell the way you hang your head
You're without love and now you're afraid
And through your tears you look around
But there's no peace of mind to be found
I know what you're thinkin', you're alone now
No love of your own
But darlin' reach out
Darlin' reach out for me
I'll be there
With the love that will shelter you
I'll be there
With the love that will see you through
