Lyrics

1. I’ve always told you I’d never hold you
   If you should want to go your way
   If you must go, dear, it’s better so, dear
   And this is all I have to say

Refrain:
If you should ever need me I’ll be here
I just want you to feel a friend is near
You cared for me too little I could tell
And I loved you too well
Somebody else has whispered in your ear
And if you’re happy I won’t interfere
But still if you should ever need me, dear
You’ll always find me here

2. To know you’re happy will make me happy
   Tho’ I may have to stand aside
   I’ll always be here, so send for me, dear
   If you should grow dissatisfied
