When life leaves you high and dry
I´ll be at your door tonight
If you need help, if you need help.
I´ll shut down the city lights,
I´ll lie, cheat, I´ll beg and bribe
To make you well, to make you well.

When enemies are at your door
I´ll carry you away from war
If you need help, if you need help.
Your hope dangling by a string
I´ll share in your suffering
To make you well, to make you well.

Give me reasons to believe
That you would do the same for me.

And I would do it for you, for you.
Baby, I´m not moving on
I love you long after you´re gone.
For you, for you.
You would never sleep alone.
I love you long after you´re gone
And long after you´re gone, gone, gone.

When you fall like a statue
I´m gon´ be there to catch you
Put you on your feet, you on your feet.
And if your well is empty
Not a thing will prevent me.
Tell me what you need, what do you need?

I surrender honestly.
You´ve always done the same for me.

So I would do it for you, for you.
Baby, I´m not moving on,
I love you long after you´re gone.
For you, for you.
You would never sleep alone.
I love you long after you´re gone
And long after you´re gone, gone, gone.

You´re my back bone.
You´re my cornerstone.
You´re my crutch when my legs stop moving.
You´re my head start.
You´re my rugged heart.
You´re the pulse that I´ve always needed.
Like a drum, baby, don´t stop beating.
Like a drum, baby, don´t stop beating.
Like a drum, baby, don´t stop beating.
Like a drum my heart never stops beating...

For you, for you.
Baby, I´m not moving on.
I love you long after you´re gone.
For you, for you.
You would never sleep alone.
I love you long after you´re gone.
For you, for you.
Baby, I´m not moving on,
I love you long after you´re gone.
For you, for you.
You would never sleep alone.
I love you long, long after you´re gone.

Like a drum, baby, don´t stop beating.
Like a drum, baby, don´t stop beating.
Like a drum, baby, don´t stop beating.
Like a drum my heart never stops beating for you.

And long after you´re gone, gone, gone.
I love you long after you´re gone, gone, gone.
