Lyrics

Whenever

Whenever I need a friend

It's you I come round to see again

You know that I'll always be near

You're flesh and blood and you're my memory

Live on in my memory

I send you nothing but love

Just wait and see

I send you nothing but love

Just wait for me

Wait and see

Wait and see

Great words

You know all the right words to say

You don't always lean in my way

You don't always mean what you say

Whenever I need a friend

It's you I come round to see again

And everything that you do

Is everything I will ask of you

You could ask me too

I send you nothing but love

Just wait and see

I send you nothing but love

Just wait for me

Wait and see

Wait and see

Great words

You know all the right words to say

You don't have to lean in my way

We don't have to mean what we say
