Song To See You Through
Composer(s): Tom Johnston
Performer(s): The Doobie Brothers



Sometimes I can't see past a day
I know I'm growin' tired and I feel it, yeah
And the song that I sing when the notes begin to ring
it's hard for my head to get into the melody, yeah

Day to day, I tell you, day by day
I see faces all around me
When they start to smile, I just stop for a while
and I say baby, let me love you

A small town store with an old wooden floor
The old man inside sellin' dried goods
has a smile on his face, don't you know that's hard to replace
I bet he's gonna live to be a hundred, yeah

Day to day, I tell you, day by day
I see faces all around me
When they start to smile I just stop for a while
and I say baby, let me love you

Summer is hot, and the winter is cold
people all doin' just what they're told
It's too bad, it's too sad
Thinkin' for yourself is a hard thing to do
well, don't you know they're depending on you
to see them through, yeah, to see them through?
It's the only thing you can do
you know you got to see them through

Day to day, I tell ya, day by day
I'm seein' faces all around me
When you start to smile, I just stop for a while
And I say baby, let me know you

Shinin' my light like a candle so bright
show me the way to my future, yeah
With your hand on my face take me far from this place
honey, I'll be the key to your heavenly door

Hear me baby, calling to you now
don't you know now, baby
well, their countin' on you
See me baby, reachin' for you, for you
reachin' out for you, baby
don't you see me reachin' out for you?

Hear me baby 
Hear me callin' to you
don't you know now, baby
that they're countin' on you
to see them through

Hear me baby, oh, hear me baby, but you
don't you see me reachin' for you
all night long I need you baby

Hear me baby, oh, can't you hear me
callin' out to your name
See me baby, reachin' out for you, reachin' out for you
gotta get to you, near you mama

Hear me baby, callin' your name
Don't you know that I'm countin' on you
to see me through, yeah

Hear me baby, callin' to you, now, now
Hear me baby, baby, I'm countin' on you to see me through, now

Reachin' for you, ah, reachin' for you, baby
Got to reach out for you now
'cause you got to see your baby though
