You say my smile is like a summer day
But what if tears begin to fall?
If things get bad will you be on your way?
Will you be here when I need you most of all?
When grey geese honk across the autumn sky
Will you look up and hear the call?
Will you be like the geese and have to fly?
Will you be here when I need you most of all?
When I am snow-blind and it seems
That the mountains and the trees
Are too distant and too tall
When I am having my December dreams
Will you be here when I need you most of all?
And when we fight and sit without a word
And watch the flowers climb the wall
Will it be spoken and will it be heard?
Will you be here when I need you most of all?
I don’t mean moments of unkindness
Or anger - there’ll be days
When my house’s just too small
But if I let you see my heart and mind
Will you be here when I need you most of all?
