Lyric
When your heart is all aloneEvery second seems so long When it’s just you, you can’t see through Those ol’ clouds that rain so blueBut when somebody loves youThere’s nothing you can’t do When somebody loves you It’s easy to get through When somebody loves you The way I love youWhen it’s late, the sun hangs lowBy yourself, nowhere to go Sing a song, you dance alone Play solitaire and stare at the phoneBut when somebody loves youThere’s nothing you can’t do When somebody loves you It’s easy to get through When somebody loves you The way I love youSo let’s put aside our foolish prideAnd let our hearts say hello We both agree we’re just no good At bein’ on our own‘Cause when somebody loves youThere’s nothing you can’t do When somebody loves you It’s easy to get through When somebody loves you The way I love youThe way I love youThe way I love you
