When there's clouds hangin' in the sky
And they're just not lettin' any light in
And you feel like you'd like to give in
Don't you give up so soon

What you need is a friend to count on
What you got baby you got someone
Who will stay when the rain is fallin'
And won't let it fall on you

I'll see you through, I'll cover you
With a love so deep and warm and true
I will be there

Honey I'll be your shelter
I'll be the one to take you through the night
Whenever you need shelter
I'll make everything alright, make everything alright

Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na

I got arms strong enough to hold you
Get you through anything you go through
Anything that you need you know
It's only a touch away

When your heart needs a heart beside it
Should be mine that's it's keeping time with
'Cause I got so much love inside
It beats for you every day

I'll be the one to give you love
When it seems like there's just not enough
Mine will be there

Honey I'll be your shelter
I'll be the one to take you through the night
Whenever you need shelter
I'll make everything alright, make everything alright

With a love so deep and warm and true

Honey I'll be your shelter
I'll be the one to take you through the night
Whenever you need shelter
I'll make everything alright, make everything alright

And I'll be your shelter
I'll be the one to take you through the night
Whenever you need shelter
I'll make everything alright, make everything alright
