Say The Word

He would be there when she
needed him
when her luck ran out he
would step right in
1930 and the times were
bad
Not much money for the baby
she had. He said:
You made a really big mistake
But don't be afraid . .
. because
I'll always be right there
for you. (Just say the word)
No matter where you are
or what you do. (I'll stand by you.)
Born in a house that never
had a phone
By 1950 she was on her own
She bought into the white
picket fence
And learned to call black
eyes accidents. He said:
Take my keys and your escape
and just remember . . .
I'll always be right there
for you. (Just say the word)
No matter where you are
or what you do.
(I'll stand by you.)
When the time came to say
goodbye
He held my hand and told
me why
Love never dies even when
we're gone
The way we feel, that will
live on, and
I can hear him talkin' to
me
talkin' straight to my heart
I'll always be right there
for you. (Just say the word)
No matter where you are
or what you do.
(I'll stand by you.)
