Never Let You Down

Never let you down When your world... comes crashing down.... you don't feel strong enough... to throw all your fears away... You've had enough... of life's sorrows And you don't think, you'll live...to see another day I'll be there for you... even if there's no one else around Chorus You'll know that I'm...there for you Like a life guard, who's watching ...over you.. I won't let you down... never gonna let you drown. When you're tired and scared... feeling all alone... imprisoned by your fears... and courage seems...so...far away hope fades...while tears roll down... I'll be there right beside you dear... you know...I'll be there for you Chorus You'll know that I'm...there for you Like a life guard, who's watching ...over you.. I won't let you down... never gonna let you drown. When waves of grief... keep crashing down... and, you're holding on for dear life all you can do is pray... to make it through this day you know that I'm there for you always there to comfort you... Chorus You'll know that I'm...there for you Like a life guard, who's watching ...over you.. I won't let you down... never gonna let you drown. I'll be there, night and day for you I'll never let you down, no, no, never gonna let you drown I'll be there, night and day for you I'll never let you down, no, no, never gonna let you drown repeat and fade John Derek Hamilton October 3,2017

The one value that I place above all others - Loyalty! Not blind loyalty, for true loyalty is not something you can expect by right of proxy, but earned Loyalty; once someone has "earned" loyalty they can rightful expect to forever receive it. True loyalty is the genuine stamp of an individual who is both worthy and uncompromising in his or her values; their tremendously strong will and spirit sustains them throughout despite what others may threaten or demand - they are the rock of mountains!

I agree 100 percent John, loyalty is sadly lacking in many relationships. Thanks for your insightful and encouraging comments, I am honored by your kind visit!

Not yet still looking for a composer for my lyrics, I've been disappointed by 2 lately who say the are working on it but after a year I think I'm moving on to find others who are serious about commitment. Thanks Carol

Thanks Greg, I am glad you passed by on this one, it's a poor mans attempt to rise to the challenge that is Simon and Garfunkle, glad you enjoyed it, hope it brings comfort to some!

Have you set up a youtube channel yet singing these songs? Great example John.

Thanks SO! No, I'm an okay singer, I'm more a lyricist, the music takes so long for me as I don't play guitar or piano, hence my Bernie Taupin and Elton John poem more accurately reflects my situation. Thanks for the kind words, as you know Simon and Garfunkle are the best!
