Lyrics

Walk with me through the long and lonely nightWalk with me and my world is filled with lightHere I stand feeling lost and so aloneTake my hand don’t desert me nowPlease don’t hurt me nowIf you walk with me though’ I know the road is longI’ll get by with your love to make me strongMore by far than a guiding star aboveI long for youWalk with me oh my love
Somewhere the sunbirds flyIn a clear blue skyOnly you and I there togetherLove me now and for ever
Walk with me through the long and lonely nightWalk with me and my world is filled with lightHere I stand feeling lost and so aloneTake my hand don’t desert me nowPlease don’t hurt me nowIf you walk with me though’ I know the road is longI’ll get by with your love to make me strongMore by far than a guiding star aboveI long for youWalk with me oh my loveI long for youWalk with me oh my love
Somewhere the sunbirds flyIn a clear blue skyOnly you and I there togetherLove me now and for ever
