Lyrics
Though you say we’re through, I’ll always love you
You know can depend on me
Though someone you’ve met has made you forget
You know, you can count on me
Now I wish you success and loads of happiness
But I must confess I’ll be lonely
But if you ever need a friend, I’m yours till the end
And you can count on me
I wish you success, loads of happiness
But I must confess I’ll be lonely
But if you ever need a friend, I’m yours till the end
And you can depend on me
And you can depend on me
