My time has come to say goodbye to you my friend I won't forget until the end of time and don't you even start to cry just think of better days and the memories that we made
When I was down and had no one you came to me, you were so free, our lives have just begun things will never be the same but the further I'm away the more you'll hear me say:
Everybody needs somebody, everybody needs someone and a shoulder to cry on and when you're down I'll leave a light on and a shoulder to cry on
And so at last I say to you there is no one who truly cares and loves you like I do and to the sky we'll fly someday and when we reach the gate we'll hear the angels say
Everybody needs somebody, everybody needs someone and a shoulder to cry on and when you're down I'll leave a light on and a shoulder to cry on cause we are here Everybody needs somebody, everybody needs someone and a shoulder to cry on and when you're down I'll leave a light on and a shoulder to cry on
