Let Me Be The One

Words and Music by: Paul Williams & Roger Nichols

Some sleepless night, 
if you should find yourself alone,
Let me be the one you run to,
Let me be the one you come to 
when you need someone to turn to, 
Let me be the one.

To set things right 
when this old world’s turned upside down,
Let me be the one you run to,
Let me be the one you come to 
when you need someone to turn to, 
Let me be the one.

For love and understanding, 
to find a quiet place;
For silent understanding, 
a loving touch.
Come to me when things go wrong 
and there’s no love to light the way.

Let me be the one you run to,
Let me be the one you come to 
when you need someone to turn to, 
Let me be the one.
