I'm not sure about 'be blue' but the rest ought to be right.


SOMEONE TO LOVE YOU
Ted Chalfant
As sung by Martin Delray on "Get Rhythm" (1990)

1. She was sorting through some letters he'd kept beneath their bed,
And read the one he'd written her the week before he left.
It was the only way he knew of to make one last request
Of the one who stood beside him 'til they laid his soul to rest.

CHORUS: "I want someone to love you when I'm gone from here.
I want someone beside you to dry every tear.
I know when I leave you your heart will be blue.
If it brings you peace, dear, I want someone to love you."

2. She could barely read his writing on the paper stained with tears,
But she felt his love in every line as he shared his greatest fear.
He said, "Honey, I can't bear the thought of you here all alone.
I hope you'll find somebody to help you carry on." CHORUS

TAG: "If it brings you peace, dear, I want someone to love you."
