When the world’s pressing in on you
and life is hard,
I want to know
If friends are few
and you ache for more from life
I want to know
When your favorite music
no longer puts a spring in your step
I want to know
If you ever feel lost
and just need to talk
I want to know
When your heart is broken
and your soul feels like an apple shriveling in December
I want to know
We’ll talk and I’ll wisk you away
to Maui or Mazatlan
Three weeks on the beach
and you can tell me everything that troubles you
I’ll listen to every word
and hold your hand
You can close your eyes
and let the waves soothe your aching heart
Close your eyes
and let me hug the hurt right out of you
We’ll swim with the dolphins
and laugh till our sides are sore
I want you to know
that you’re never alone
There’s always a way out
when desperation threatens you
I want you to know
That I love you and always will
