Stormy nights, I've been waiting

Satisfy you, oh yeah

But his love is just a game

And he's sellng you the same old lies



And I'm hangin' on the wire

And no closer to the fire

And you don't hear me when I cry



(CHORUS)

You may need someone to lean upon

When he's gone, when he's gone

And what is left is a love so strong

When he's gone, when he's gone

You wouldn't believe to what extent

My mind is going to

You wouldn't deny me in your dreams

You couldn't belong to someone else

If you could see me now

And I'd be the only one

When he's gone



My understanding that you remember

For whom the bell tolls, oh yeah

I swear to you I pray

That you feel the battle rage

For the saving of my soul



And it's a struggle to survive

You know it's keepin' us alive

And baby I don't wanna die



(CHORUS)

I will be someone you lean upon

When he's gone, when he's gone

And what is left is a love so strong

When he's gone, when he's gone

You wouldn't believe to what extent

My mind is going to

You wouldn't deny me in your dreams

You couldn't belong to someone else

If you could see me now

And I'd be the only one

When he's gone



I will be someone you lean upon

When he's gone, when he's gone

And what is left is a love so strong

When he's gone, when he's gone

I will be someone you lean upon

When he's gone, when he's gone



Don't tell me it's too late

And your love don't make me wait

I can see the end of time

With a love that makes you mine

And tonight I let you know

There's a love that won't let go
