Lyrics Michael McDonald

Michael McDonald

Reach Out, I'll Be There

Now if you feel that you can't go on

As if all of your hope is gone

And your life filled with much confusion

Until happiness is just an illusion

And the world around is tumblin' down

Darling, reach out

Come on, girl, reach out for me

Reach out for me

I'll be there with the love that will shelter you

I'll be there with the love that will see you through

When you're alone and about to give up

'Cause your best just ain't good enough

And you feel the world has grown cold

And you're driftin' on all on your own

When you need a hand to hold

Darling, reach out

Come on, girl, reach out for me

Reach out for me

I'll be there with the love that will comfort you

I'll be there with the love that will see you through

I'll be there now, baby, you can always count on me

Reach out, baby

I can tell the way you hang your head

You're alone now, and you're afraid

Through your tears you look around

There's no peace of mind to be found

I know what you're thinking

You're alone now with no love of your own

Darling, reach out

Come on, girl, reach out for me

Reach out for me

I'll be there with the love that will shelter you

I'll be there with the love that will comfort you

I'll be there now, baby, you're always a friend of me

I'll be there with the love that will comfort you

No, run to me 'cause I'll be there, baby

I will always shelter you

If you feel like you can't go on, baby
