Lyrics

If you hear a voice

in the mid dle of the night

say ing it will be all right,

it will be me.

If you feel a hand

guid ing you a long

when the path seems a wrong,

it will be me.

There is no moun tain

that I can’t climb.

cre For you I’d swim through the riv ers of time.

As you go your way

and I go mine,

a light will shine,

and it will be me.

If there is a key

that the goes dle to your heart,

a ing spe will cial all part,

it will be me.

If you need a friend,

call out to the wind

to the hold you a gain.

It will be me.

Oh, how the world tain

seems so un fair,

cre at ing a love that the can not be shared.

As you go your way

and I go mine,

a light will shine,

and it will be me.

Past the ev er af ter,

(C)there’s a place for two.

In your tears and laugh ter,

(C)I’ll be there

for you.

In the sun and the moon,

in the land and the sea,

look a round you:

it will be me.

There is no moun tain

that I can’t climb.

For you I’d swim through the riv ers of time.

As you go your way

and I go mine,

a light will shine,

and it will be me.

It will be me.
