     D  
If I needed you, would you come to me  
          D       G      A       D  
Would you come to me and ease my pain  
       D  
If you needed me I would come to you  
        D        G           A         D  
I would swim the seas for to ease your pain  
  
  
In the night forlorn and the morning's born  
And the morning shines with the lights of love  
You will miss sunrise if you close your eyes  
And that will break my heart in two  
  
  
Solo  
  
  
Baby's with me now since I showed her how  
To lay her lily hand in mine  
Loop and Lil agree she's a sight to see  
A treasure for the poor to find  
  
If I needed you would you come to me,   
Would you come to me for to ease my pain  
If you needed me I would come to you,   
I would swim the sea for to ease your pain
