I Count On You

Intro: Have you ever considered, moving on?
Have you ever considered, holding on from dusk to dawn?
Consider this – I will be with you day and night
Even in the abyss, I will be your enduring light 

Hmmm…hmmm…
Soon, this nightmare will be over
Soon, you will be living a dream come true
I do not doubt you will be unsure
I have lost and gained so much; you have no clue

Just hold on…
Move on…

Hmmm…ah…oh…
Hmmm…ah…oh…

Hey now, don’t give up
Please don’t let go…
You have been a broken cup
Oh, that, I know…
Come on, don’t give up
Promise me you won’t let go
You have been an abandoned pup
Yes, yes, I already know

Just understand that I want to be here
Understand that help is always near
I wish you’d see how much I care for you
Dear, my darling, don’t shed tears of hopeless dew

Ooooh…oooh…ooh…

Believe in the truth that never lies
Don’t give up so quickly – it’s never too late!
I know we get caught up in the tides of failed tries
Don’t let go so senselessly…it’s your fate to wait

Just hold on…
Move on…

Hmmm…ah…oh…
Hmmm…ah…oh…

Hey now, don’t give up
Please don’t let go…
You have been a broken cup
Oh, that, I know…
Come on, don’t give up
Promise me you won’t let go
You have been an abandoned pup
Yes, yes, I already know

Just understand that I want to be here
Understand that help is always near
I wish you’d see how much I care for you
Dear, my darling, don’t shed tears of hopeless dew

You can believe, don’t fret at all
Grieve no more and stand tall
Before you make a great fall 
Or even become as cold as a wall

Soon, all will come to an end
Sorrow will no longer be a friend
There are still some scars to mend

But, believe me, 
It’s the beginning of a dream trend

Outro: You and I can work with a little fixing nowadays
Don’t be so succumbed to these wicked days…
Along with their dreadful, wicked ways…
You don’t want to be involved in their craze
