Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Anytime you're feeling blue
Anytime you feel down hearted
That will prove your love for me is true
Anytime you're thinking 'bout me
That's the time I'll think of you
Anytime you say you want me back again
Anytime your world is lonely
And you'll find true friends are few
Anytime you see a rainbow
That will be a sign the storm is through
Anytime will be the right time
Anytime at all will do
Anytime you're sure you want only my love
That's the time I'll come back home to you
Anytime you're thinking 'bout me
That's the time I'll think of you
Anytime you say you want me back again
That's the time I'll come back home to you
