The firt step to heaven
I will take in my life
I am not afraid when
I can hold you tight
If there must be an answer
Then there must be a prayer
And you must be the angel
When you're standing there
So I lean on you, I lean on you

My life is such a statement
Of my hopes and despairs
But nothing really matters
Just as long as you're there
You love me such honesty,
You love with no gain
You speak to me so tender
And you never explain
So I lean on you, I lean on you

My baby she cares
It's so easy to do
My baby she tells me what to do
She always tells me the truth
My baby she cares
It's so easy to do
My baby knows what I'm gonna do
That's why I lean on you

I dream of an island,
Of a fantasy place
Where I can go to sometimes
And nobody can trace
Well such is the nature,
The nature of love
That when we dream it
Sometimes means that we need love
So I lean on you, I lean on you

My baby she cares
It's so easy to do
My baby she tells me what to do
She always tells me the truth
My baby she cares
It's so easy to do
My baby knows what I'm gonna do
That's why I lean on you

So I lean on you, I lean on you
I lean on you, so I lean on you

(repeat chorus)
