BE MY ROCK

I WAS DROWNING IN TEARS
LOOKING FOR A LIFELINE
SEARCHING FOR SOMEONE
WHEN IT SEEMED LIKE A LIFETIME
FILLED WITH FEARS
NEAR THE END OF MY ROPE
THEN YOU APPEARED AND IT GAVE ME HOPE

BABY WON’T YOU BE MY ROCK
BABY WON’T YOU BE MY ROCK
UNLOCK YOUR HEART
AN’ COVER ME WITH LOVE
BABY WON’T YOU BE MY ROCK

I WAS DRIFTING IN VAIN
LOOKING FOR THE LOWDOWN
SEARCHING FOR SOMEONE
IT SEEMED LIKE A SHOWDOWN
FILLED WITH PAIN
THEN YOU TOUCHED THE SOUL OF ME
AN' I’M ASKING YOU AGAIN EVER FAITHFULLY

BABY WON’T YOU BE MY ROCK
BABY WON’T YOU BE MY ROCK
UNLOCK YOUR HEART
SHELTER ME FROM HARM
BABY WON’T YOU BE MY ROCK

BE MY SPECIAL SOMEONE
BE MY GIBRALTAR
SOMEONE WHO CARES
ALWAYS BE THERE
WHO CAN’T FAIL WHO WON’T FALTER

OH BABY WON’T YOU BE MY ROCK
BABY WON’T YOU BE MY ROCK
UNLOCK YOUR HEART
AN’ COVER ME WITH LOVE
BABY WON’T YOU BE MY ROCK

BABY WON’T YOU BE MY ROCK ~ BE MY SPECIAL SOMEONE
BABY WON’T YOU BE MY ROCK ~ BE MY GIBRALTAR
UNLOCK YOUR HEART
AN’ COVER ME WITH LOVE
BABY WON’T YOU BE MY ROCK
OH BE MY ROCK
BABY BABY WON’T YOU BE MY ROCK
AH BE MY ROCK
OH WON’T YOU BE MY ROCK x

well, the vocal's stellar, outstandin' voice/tone, with a catchy, connective chorus, that recalls ella fitzgerald, groovy lyrics also, well played piano, strings, well produced also...
