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.)
