歌词：
I got¹ your letter from the postman just the other day
So I decided² to write you this song
and just to let you know exactly³ the way I feel
to let you know my love's so real⁴
Because I love you, and I'll do anything
I'll give you my heart⁵, my everything
Because I love you, I'll be right by your side⁶
to be your light, to be your guide⁷
If you should feel that I don't really care⁸
And that you're starting to lose⁹ ground¹⁰
Just let me reassure¹¹ you that you can count on me
And that I'll always be around
Because I love you, my heart's an open door
Girl, won't you please come on in
Because I love you, I'll be right by your side
to be your light, to be your guide.

　　If you should feel that I don't really care
And that you're starting to lose ground
Just let me reassure you that you can count on me

Girl, won't you please come on in
Because I love you, I'll be right by your side
to be your light, to be your guide.
