Barry Manilow
"Please Don't Be Scared"


There's a light behind your eyes.
I see it shining, it only fades when you cry.
There's a heart that beats so strong,
I feel it dying when the night time lasts too long.
Now you and I have lived out centuries,
and all I can say is what you've offered to me.

Please don't be scared, cause I stood there too,
between survival and the right thing to do.
Cause only the strong admit their fears,
and if you really need me I'll always be here.

The parties and the lights
fade to memories in the still of the night.
And you wonder in your mind
if there's nothing left to show for all the time.
Cause feeling pain's a hard way
to know you're still alive,
but someday someone
will make you glad you survived.

So (repeat chorus)

Cause feeling pain's a hard way
to know you're still alive,
but someday someone
will make you glad you survived

(repeat chorus)

No matter where you are,
if you really need me, I'm never far.
