Chorus:   Whenever you're near me   I give you everything I have   Someone to believe in   When things are good or when they're bad   You know how to please me   Like nobody can   Someone to believe in   Be my lover, be my friend      When every race is run and the day is closin' in   I feel the need to hold you, let the night begin   Come softly to me, show me why      Chorus      I cannot wait to feel the beating of your heart   The days are long and they're just keeping us apart   Come softly to me, show me why      Chorus      Whenever you're near me      Love is the reason we can feel this way inside, oh oh-oh   Turnin' the world around, makin' us wild   Love is the music beatin' in our hearts tonight, oh oh-oh   Lightin' the way to take us deeper inside      Whenever you're...   Chorus      Whenever you're near me   Someone to believe in   When things are good or when they're bad   You know how to please me   Someone to believe in   Be my lover, be my friend      Whenever you're near me
