My time has come, to say goodbye
So you my friend, I won't forget until the end of time
And don't you even start to cry
Just think of better days, and the memories that we made

When I was down, and had no one
You came to me, you were so free, our lives had just begun
And things would never be the same
But the further I'm away, the more you'll hear me say

CHORUS:
Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs someone
And a shoulder to cry on
And when you're down, I'll leave the light on
And a shoulder to cry on

And so at last, I say to you
There is no one who truly cares or loves you like I do
And to the sky we'll fly someday
And when we reach the gates, you'll hear the angels say

{CHORUS}

'Cause we all need

{CHORUS}
