Analysis of It All Depends On You

Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)



If I should need you, please be there.
Good friends are hard to find!
When I'm with you, I know you care.
My hope begins to shine.

Please do not leave me here too long,
I need your loving smile.
The bad events don't seem so wrong
When you can stay awhile.

I wish I knew you long ago,
Then loneliness would not
Have been the past I came to know
You are the one I sought!
