Story behind the song
Was originally titled "Please Stop By." A song messaging that there is support and understanding for someone who needs it - sort of a "You've Got A Friend" song / theme.
Lyrics
If the sun isn't shining for your morning, and things aren't going your way
Then you need a friend and someone to hide away
Chorus: So just come and be with me, and we'll figure out just what you need. I'll always be here for you - to help you deal with the crazy world.
If you really need to lose yourself, and you think of a direction
And there's no one else that way
Chorus (with slight variation) - Then close your eyes and count to three; and come and be with me. I'll always be here for you to to help you deal with the crazy, sometimes lonely world
instrumental
I know that sometimes when the sun shines - you don't see the light
But always know you can be with me, any time of day or night....
Chorus:
So close your eyes, count to three, and come and be with me. We'll figure out just what we need, and get away from the crazy, sometimes lonely world......
