That’s How I Can Count on You

100%

Like April can count on the flowers
The grass can count on the dew
And March can count on the wind wind windy days
That's how I can count on you

If the road looks long and endless
With nothing but heartbreak in view
I'll smile all the while for I'll I'll I'll
Know that I can always count on you

If fame and fortune should pass me by
Though a beggar I stand alone
If a king and his kingdom could never find
A love as true as the love we had known

Like a baby can count on it's mother
When the day is all through
And lovers can count on the moon moon silvery moon
That's how I can count on you
