Don't it make life just a little more special knowin' you've got someone who cares
You won't ever have to be lonely always have somebody there
Don't it make everything a little bit easier knowin' you have someone like me
A hand to take you to the light when it gets a little bit too dark to see

That's when I like to stop and remind you
You've got me to hold on to baby oh you've got me to hold on to
Yes and don't it make every chance worth taking even when you try and fail
Don't it make all the pain worth aching look around and find somebody there

Oh don't it make everything a little bit easier...
I've got you I've got you
High and low happy or sad you know I'm gonna be right there
Sharin' your smiles dryin' your eyes anytime and anywhere

'Cause you've got me to hold on to oh you've got me to hold on to baby
'Cause you've got me to hold on to honey
