Barry Manilow Please Don't Be Scared song lyrics

There's a light behind your eyes

I see it shining, it only fades when you cry

There's a heart that beats so strong

I feel it dyin', when the night time lasts too long

Now you and I have lived out centuries

And all I can say is what you've offered to me

Please don't be scared, 'cause I've stood there too

Between survival and the right thing to do

'Cause only the strong admit their fears

And if you really need me, I'll always be here

The parties and the lights

Fade to memories in the still of the night

And you wonder in your mind

If there's nothing left to show for all the time

'Cause feeling pains a hard way to know you're still alive

But someday, someone will make you glad you survived

So please don't be scared, 'cause I've stood there too

Between survival and the right thing to do

'Cause only the strong admit their fears

And if you really need me, I'll always be here

'Cause feeling pains a hard way to know you're still alive

But someday, someone will make you glad you survived

Please don't be scared, 'cause I've stood there too

Between survival and the right thing to do

'Cause only the strong admit their fears

And if you really need me, oh I'll always be here

No matter where you are, if you really need me

I'm never far
