Let Me Be There

Olivia Newton-John Let Me Be There Lyrics
1.Let Me Be There

Lyrics:John Rostill
Music:John Rostill
Arranger:Bruce Welch/John Farrar

Wherever you go
Wherever you may wander in your life
Surely you know
I always wanna be there
Holding you hand
And standing by to catch you when you fall
Seeing you through
In everything you do

Let me be there in your morning
Let me be there in you night
Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right
Let me take you through that wonderland
That only two can share
All I ask you is let me be there

Watching you grow
And going through the changes in your life
That's how I know
I always wanna be there
Whenever you feel you need a friend to lean on, here I am
Whenever you call, you know I'll be there

Let me be there in your morning
Let me be there in you night
Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right
Let me take you through that wonderland
That only two can share
All I ask you is let me be there


2.Me and Bobby McGee

Written:Kristofferson/Foster
Arranger:Bruce Welch/John Farrar

Busted flat in Baton rouge
Headin' for the train
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
Just before it rained
Took us all the way to New Orleans
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
I was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
With them windshield wipers slappin' time
And Bobby clappin' hands
We finally sang up every song that driver knew

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
Buddy, that was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

From the coal mines of Kentucky
To the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standin' right beside me
Through everything I've done
And every night he kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas
I let him slip away
Lookin' for the home I hope he'll find
And I'll trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
Buddy, that was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
Enough for me and Bobby McGee
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
I let him slip away
Lookin' for the home I hope he finds
Enough for me and my Bobby McGee
Enough for me and my Bobby McGee, yeah


3.Banks of the Ohio

Arranger:Bruce Welch/John Farrar

I asked my love to take a walk
To take a walk, just a little walk
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio

And only say that you'll be mine
In no others' arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio

I held a knife against his breast
As into my arms he pressed
He cried 'my love, don't you murder me
I'm not prepared for eternity'

I wandered home 'tween twelve and one
I cried, 'My God, what have I done?'
I've killed the only man I love
He would not take me for his bride

And only say that you'll be mine
In no others' arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio


4.Love Song

Lyrics:Lesley Duncan
Music:Lesley Duncan
Arranger:Bruce Welch/John Farrar

The words I have to say
May well be simple but they're true
Until you give your love
There's nothing more that we can do

Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No one could offer you more
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?

You say it's very hard
To leave behind the life we knew
But there's no other way
And now it's really up to you

Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must burn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?

Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must burn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?


5.If Not for You

Lyrics:Bob Dylan
Music:Bob Dylan
Arranger:Bruce Welch/John Farrar

If not for you
Babe I couldn't even find the door
I couldn't even see the floor
I'd be sad and blue
If not for you

If not for you
Babe the night would see me wide awake
The day would surely have to break
And it would not be new
If not for you

If not for you my sky would fall
Rain would gather too
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
I'd be lost if not for you

If not for you
The winter would hold no spring
Couldn't hear a robin sing
I just wouldn't have a clue
It not for you

If not for you my sky would fall
Rain would gather too
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
I'd be lost if not for you

If not for you
The winter would hold no spring
You couldn't hear a robin sing
I just wouldn't have a clue
It not for you
If not for you


6.Take Me Home Country Roads

Written:Danoff/Nivart/Denver
Arranger:Bruce Welch/John Farrar

Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is older there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountain
Blowing like a breeze

Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

All my memories gather round her
Minor's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, blowing in the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrops in my eye

Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

I hear her voice in the morning hour
She calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday

Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads


7.Angel of the Morning

Lyrics:Taylor
Music:Taylor
Arranger:Bruce Welch/John Farrar

There'll be no strings to bind your hands
Not if my love can find your heart
And there's no need to take a stand
For it was I who chose to start
I see no need to take me home
I'm old enough to face the dawn

Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Then slowly turn away from me

Maybe the sun's light will be dim
It won't matter anyhow
If morning's echo says we've sinned
Well, it was what I wanted now
And if we're victims of the night
I won't be blinded by the light

Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Then slowly turn away from me

I won't beg you to stay with me
Through the tears of the day
Of the years, baby

Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Then slowly turn away from me
Oh baby, I love you baby, oh baby


8.If You Could Read My Mind

Written:Gordon Lightfoot
Arranger:Bruce Welch/John Farrar

If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old-time movie
About a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet

You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free As long as I'm a ghost that you
can't see

If I could read your mind, love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind that drugstores sell
when you reach the part
Where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
The hero often fails
And you won't read that book again
Because the ending's just too hard to take

I'll walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three-way script
Enter number two
A movie queen to play the scene
Are bringing all the good things out in me
But for now love, let's be real
I never thought I could act this way
And I've got to say, I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back


9.Help Me Make It Through the Night

Written:Kris Kristofferson
Arranger:Bruce Welch/John Farrar

Take the ribbon from my hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Lay it soft against your skin
Like the shadows on the wall
Come and lay down by my side
Till the early morning light
All I'm takin' is your time
Help me make it through the night

I don't care who's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
Lord, tonight I need a friend

Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night

And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night
I don't wanna be alone
Help me make it through the night


10.Just a Little Too Much

Lyrics:Burnett
Music:Burnett
Arranger:Bruce Welch/John Farrar

Sometimes I think I love you
Just a little too much
You know you thrill me baby
With you magic touch
That's why I want you honey
And I love you like I do
I'm gonna scream and shout it
There ain't no doubt about it
That's why I love you like I do

Sometimes I think you kiss me
Just a little too much
You drive me crazy baby,
With your magic touch
You make me feel so good
When the moon is shining bright
With our lips together
And you're squeezin' me so tight

Now, I went steady once before
Thought I loved the boy next door
He stepped out on me, you see
He couldn't be true
Now, I got over all my dreams
Time went by so fast it seems
Now I know I'll never get over you
Well, all right, all right

Sometimes I think I love you
Just a little too much
You know you thrill me baby
With you magic touch
That's why I want you honey
And I love you like I do
I'm gonna scream and shout it
There ain't no doubt about it
That's why I love you like I do
That's why I love you like I do
