You'll Still Be Needing Me, ©1967 by Gordon Lightfoot

If I had my way, I would say it's over darling 
If I could be brave, I would say I'm leaving you 
But I must stay on till hope is gone 
'Cause girl I know, anywhere you go you'll still be needing me
 
If you feel you can't make it on your own my darling 
I'll be on your side when you can't find anyone 
But for now let's try, just to get by 
Let the tide roll out, let the tide roll in, it's time to sink or swim 

La la la la la, la la la la la la la la 
La la la la la, la la la la la la la la 

If I could be strong, I'd be gone tomorrow morning 
Still I play the part, making like a broken toy 
But I must stay on til all hope is gone 
'Cause girl I know, anywhere I go you'll still be needing me 
Let the tide roll out, let the tide roll in, it's time to sink or swim 

La la la la la, la la la la la la la la 
La la la la la, la la la la la  la  la la
