Somebody Counts on Me lyrics

Everything is going brightly now.

Everything is going straight

But you know I must think twice right now

It's really getting quite late

And I must take my leave of you now

There's someone I've got to see

There's no more that I can give to you now

Because somebody counts on me

Sleepy mornings in the summer

You have been good to me; it's true

But you know I can't sit any longer

There's more to summer days than you

And I must take my leave of you now

There's somewhere I've got to be

There's no more that I can give to you now

Because somebody counts on me

It doesn't matter what news you have to tell me

Or what songs you have to sing

Or what goods you have to sell me

Or even what goods you have to bring

And I must take my leave of you now

There's someone I've got to see

There's no more that I can give to you now

Because somebody counts on me

Someday, when all my work is over

And all my songs are sung

And there's nothing more to bother me

I'll do some counting in return

But I must take my leave of you now

There's somewhere I've got to be

There's no more that I can give to you now

Because somebody counts on me

I must take my leave of you now

There's someone I've got to see

There's no more that I can give to you now

Because somebody counts on me
