Let Me Be There
Olivia Newton-John
Wherever you go
Wherever you may wander in your life
Surely you know
I always wanna be there
Holding you hand
And standing by to catch you when you
fall
Seeing you through
In everything you do
Let me be there in your morning
Let me be there in you night
Let me change whatever's wrong and
make it right
Let me take you through that
wonderland
That only two can share
All I ask you is let me be there
Watching you grow
And going through the changes in your
life
That's how I know
I always wanna be there
Whenever you feel you need a friend
to lean on, here I am
Whenever you call, you know I'll be
there
Let me be there in your morning
Let me be there in you night
Let me change whatever's wrong and
make it right
Let me take you through that
wonderland
That only two can share
All I ask you is let me be there
