Will you still be there
Howard Jones · One to One [1986]
Cos a few simple actions were not taken
There will be a time, time for the next world
Can't let the feelings be left unsaid
Chorus
Will you still be there when the night comes
The glory's over and the chill comes
When the night comes, will you still be there
Will you still be there when the night comes
Will you still be there?
When the world seems to fall apart for us
When all the hope has turned to desperation
How can we torture, torture the ones that we Love
Can't let the feelings be left unsaid
How many hearts have been broken
How many have been broken in two
Cos a few simple words had not been spoken
Not been spoken, no, no, no
There's a need to know that we're wanted
That we're wanted yeah, yeah, yeah
There's a need to know you care
Need to know who cares for you yes we do
Will you still be there
