Lyrics

CALL?ME (IF?YOU?NEED?ME)

Sonny
I know
there is
only so much I?can do
sooner or later
the world's
gonna open
for you

And there will be
heartbreak
and you will make
mistakes
but don't hesitate
to call if you need me

I know
that there comes
a time
when we have to let go
and it may not always be easy
but you're gonna grow

And with each passing day
you will find your way
but don't hesitate
to call if you need me

I know
you have to go
but you should know
I'll miss you so

Please every now and then
come home again
or call me when
you need me
