lyrics

It isn’t as though I’m asking for the world
just someone to listen when will I be heard?
At times I wonder if I’m in the human race
looks like I came last in any case
funny how the simple things all seem so hard

All I’ve got to do is make it through the night

Is there something in the way I hold your hand?
Does it make it any easier to understand?
Wipe away those tears and say goodbye
leave me where you found me - hIgh and dry
come back in the morning you know I’ll still be here

all I’ve got to do is make it through the night

I’m not asking you for roses just your time
not asking for a dollar just a dime
not saying I need luxury to survive
is it asking too much just to stay alive?
Funny how the simple things all seem so hard

All I’ve got to do is make it through the night
