[Verse 1]
Now that he’s gone
You need someone to lean on
I’ll do my best
To be that shoulder to cry on
But I can’t promise you
You’ll never cry again
Cause everyone cries sometimes

[Pre-Chorus]
I can’t promise you
You’ll never know heartaches again
Cause everyone’s heart aches sometimes
All I can promise
Is my love to rely on

[Chorus]
Always be here
(Long as you need me)
Just as long as you need me
(As long as you need me)
As long as you need me
(As long as you need me)
I’ll be standing by
(Long as you need me)
Just as long
(As long as you need me)
Long as you need me
(As long as you need me)
Long as you need me
(As long as you need me)
I’ll be by your side
(As long as you need me)
All I can promise
Is to be close by your side
Just as long as you need me
[Verse 2]
I can’t promise you
You’ll always know sadness
Cause everyone knows sadness sometimes
Oh I’ll do my very best
To keep on giving you happiness
In each and every day
In every way
Give you my shoulder to cry on
And always be here

[Chorus]
(Long as you need me)
Just as long as you need me
(As long as you need me)
As long as you need me
(As long as you need me)
I’ll be standing by
(Long as you need me)
Long as you need me
(As long as you need me)
Long as you need me
(As long as you need me)
