Lyrics

And every time you crave for me I'm here
And anything you hunger for I'll share
And I will be quietly standing by
While slowly I am dying inside 

Hold me in your arms
And let me be the one who can feel
Like I am a child in love 

Every time I talk to you you're down
And every time you need a laugh I'm around
When you forget I'm here I'm not
It isn't really me that you forgot 

Hold me in your arms
And let me be the one who can feel
Like I am a child in love 

Whisper now
And tell me how
You watch me
And tell me somehow
I'm gonna be alright

Favourite Parts

The music of the song is beautiful. A girls voice talks in the background and a guitar is used delicately in the heart of the song. Very simple but very effective.

Brilliantly conveys the feeling that you would doing anything for someone.

And every time you crave for me I'm here
And anything you hunger for I'll share

The end of the song is wonderful. I love the faithful belief that "Somehow, I'm gonna be alright".

Whisper now
And tell me how
You watch me
And tell me somehow
I'm gonna be alright
