If You Need My Love Tonight

Inside my mind the hands of time rewind To when you're love was mine so magically We shared a song and even though it's gone I can still recall the melody Don't be scared if you lie awake in the dark (I won't be afraid, baby) 'Cause I still truly care with all my heart If you need my love tonight all you have to do is call me And I'm always here when you need a friend If you need my love tonight I promise to keep you from falling And I'll stay with you if you need my love tonight Tonight tonight, tonight So soft and pure your love was the cure Then I felt lost and so alone Now it's my turn to give you what you yearn Return the love that you have always shown And what a joy if I could see you once again (oh, I see you tonight, baby) I will treat you so right you're mine, body and soul If you need my love tonight all you have to do is call me And I'm always here when you need a friend If you need my love tonight I promise to keep you from falling And I'll stay with you if you need my love tonight Tonight Tonight I'll be there If you need my love tonight all you have to do is call me And I'm always here when you need a friend If you need my love tonight I promise to keep you from falling And I'll stay with you if you need my love tonight Stay with lady, with your baby If you need my love tonight all you have to do is call me And I'm always here when you need a friend Tonight I want to be with you, baby --- If You Need My Love Tonight - Aretha Franklin and Larry Graham
