Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now if you feel like you can't go on (Can't go on)
Because all your hope is gone (All your hope is gone)
And your life is filled with much confusion (Much confusion)
And happiness is just an illusion (Happiness is just an illusion)
And the world around is tumbling down
[Verse 2]
Darlin' (Reach out, reach out, reach out) Come on, girl, reach out for me
(Reach out, reach out) Reach out for me
[Verse 3]
I'll be there with the love that will shelter you
I'll be there with the love that will see you through
[Verse 4]
When you're alone and about to give up (To give up)
'Cause your best just ain't good enough (Just ain't good enough)
And you feel the world has grown cold (Has grown cold)
And you're driftin' out all on your own (Driftin' out on your own)
When you need a hand to hold
[Verse 5]
Darlin' (Reach out, reach out, reach out) Come on, girl, reach out for me
(Reach out, reach out) Reach out for me
[Verse 6]
I'll be there with the love that will comfort you
I'll be there with the love that will see you through
(I'll be there with the love that will shelter you)
I'll be there now, baby, you can always count on me
(I'll be there with the love that will see you through) Reach out, baby
[Verse 7]
I can tell the way you hang your head (Hang your head)
You are alone now and you're afraid (You're afraid)
Through your tears you look around (Look around)
But there's no peace of mind to be found (There's no peace of mind to be found)
[Verse 8]
I know what you're thinking
You're alone now with no love of your own
Darlin' (Reach out, reach out, reach out) Come on, girl, reach out for me
(Reach out, reach out) Reach out for me
[Verse 9]
I'll be there with the love that will shelter you
I'll be there with the love that will comfort you
I'll be there now, baby, you're always a friend of me
I'll be there with the love that will comfort you
[Verse 10]
(I'll be there with the love that will shelter you) No, run to me
'Cause I'll be there, baby (I'll be there) I will always shelter you
(I'll be there with the love that will shelter you) You feel like you can't go wrong, baby
(I'll be there with the love that will comfort you) There ain't no peace of mind
