Lyrics for Always

Oh friends don't matter if you're a man or a woman If you're in love with somebody These are the words that you got to learn to say Now, listen carefully Here it comes I'll be loving you always With a love that's true always When the thing you've planned Needs my helping hand I will understand, always always Days may not be fair always Yeah but that's when I'll be there always Not for just an hour Not for just a day Not for just a year always I said that I'll be loving you always With a love that's true A love that's true, always When the thing you've planned Needs my helping hand I will, I will understand always, always Oh that's pretty ... that's pretty too ... Oh darling The days may not be fair always Yeah but that's when I'll be there always Not for just a second, or a minute, or an hour Not for just a weekend and a shake down in the shower Not for just the summer and the winter going sour But always, always, always Ok if you don't want to quit, let's try it one more time I'll be loving you always With a love that's true always When the thing you've planned Needs my helping hand I will understand, I will, I will understand always, always The days may not be fair always Don't worry, baby That's when I'll be there always Not for just an hour Not for just a day Not for just a year but always
