When life leaves you high and dry
I’ll be at your door tonight
If you need help, if you need help
I’ll shut down the city lights,
I’ll lie, cheat, I’ll beg and bribe
To make you well, to make you wellWhen enemies are at your door
I’ll carry you away from war
If you need help, if you need help
Your hope dangling by a string
I’ll share in your suffering
To make you well, to make you wellGive me reasons to believe
That you would do the same for meAnd I would do it for you, for you
Baby, I’m not moving on
I’ll love you long after you’re gone
For you, for you.
You will never sleep alone
I’ll love you long after you’re gone
Long after you’re gone, gone, goneWhen you fall like a statue
I’m gonna be there to catch you
Put you on your feet, you on your feet
And if your well is empty
Not a thing will prevent me
Tell me what you need, what do you need?I surrender honestly
You’ve always done the same for meSo I would do it for you, for you
Baby, I’m not moving on
I’ll love you long after you’re gone
For you, for you
You will never sleep alone
I’ll love you long after you’re gone
Long after you’re gone gone goneYou’re my back bone, you’re my cornerstone
You’re my crutch when my legs stop moving
You’re my head start, you’re my rugged heart
You’re the pulse that I’ve always needed
Like a drum, baby, don’t stop beating
Like a drum, baby, don’t stop beating
Like a drum, baby, don’t stop beating
Like a drum, my heart never stops beatingFor you, for you
Baby, I’m not moving on
I’ll love you long after you’re gone
For you, for you
You will never sleep alone
I’ll love you long after you’re gone
For you, for you
Baby, I’m not moving on
I’ll love you long after you’re gone
For you, for you
You will never sleep alone
I’ll love you long, long after you’re goneLike a drum, baby, don’t stop beating
Like a drum, baby, don’t stop beating
Like a drum, baby, don’t stop beating
Like a drum, my heart never stops beating for youAnd long after you’re gone, gone, gone
I’ll love you long after you’re gone gone, gone
