Lyrics
- As we stand here facing life together
Let’s promise faithfully
No matter what may come or what may be
Hand in hand we’ll laugh at life together
When darkest clouds appear
My darling, have no fear
Chorus
I’ll come smiling thru if I can count on you
Cares will be so few if I can count on you
Come what may, I know I can’t go wrong
Somehow I’ll find the way
If you’ll just string along
Some days it may rain, ev’ry day can’t be fair
I may lose or gain, but if I know you care
Why should I complain? I’ll always have my share
If I can count on you
- I know I can find the silver lining
That little bird of blue
Will always follow me if I have you
Somewhere there’s a lucky star a-shining
Thru all adversity you can depend on me
