I'll Be Around - Johnnie Ray

When I was young

The feeling was there

It is still there

Unweaving in me

As I recollect

Take me back to the stems of it

To the eyes of the parent’s tounge

I’ll listen to them

So I made up my mind

I’ll be around for a while

You can bet on your life

I’ll be around for a while

Call out my name, when you call I’ll be there

I’m always runnin' chasing flames on a dare

Come back in that light, come on darling shine

Call out my name, when you call I’ll be there

So I made up my mind

I’ll be around for a while

You can bet on your life

I’ll be around for a while

Time after time

I’ll be around

This love tonight

It will be around for a while

If wishes were horses then beggars would ride

Virtually a mystic couldn’t ravel tonight

Harder than diamonds, cut up the sky

Running like a river while I move to sun

So I made up my mind

I’ll be around for a while

You can bet on your life

I’ll be around for a while

Time after time

I’ll be around

This love tonight

It will be around for a while

We don’t need to stay ahan

Have you seen' Yes I changed my ways again

Really needed say

When I’ve prayed, aha

Prayed to live with someone like you someday

It’s all I need to say

It’s all I need to say, It’s all I need to say

So I made up my mind

I’ll be around for a while

You can bet on your life

I’ll be around for a while

Time after time

I’ll be around

This love tonight

It will be around for a while
