His first album featured a recording of the Beatles' "With a Little Help from My Friends", which brought him to near-instant stardom. The song reached number one in the UK in 1968, became a staple of his many live shows (Woodstock and the Isle of Wight in 1969, the Party at the Palace in 2002) and was also known as the theme song for the late 1980s American TV series The Wonder Years. He continued his success with his second album, which included a second Beatles song: "She Came In Through the Bathroom Window". A hastily thrown together 1970 US tour led to the live double-album Mad Dogs & Englishmen, which featured an all-star band organized by Leon Russell. His 1974 recording of "You Are So Beautiful" reached number five in the US, and became his signature song. Cocker's best selling song was the US number one "Up Where We Belong", a duet with Jennifer Warnes that earned a 1983 Grammy Award. He released a total of 22 studio albums over a 43-year recording career.
In 1993, Cocker was nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Male. He was awarded a bronze Sheffield Legends plaque in his hometown in 2007, and received an OBE the following year for services to music. Cocker was ranked number 97 on Rolling Stone's 100 greatest singers list.

Have A Little Faith In Me
Joe Cocker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you can no longer see
Let my love throw a spark
Have a little faith in me
And when the tears you cry
Are all you can believe
Give these loving arms a try baby
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
When your secret heart
Cannot speak so easily
From a whisper start
To have a little faith in me
And when your back's against the wall
Just turn around and you will see
I will catch your fall
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
When the road gets dark
And you can no longer see
Let my love throw a spark
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
I've been loving you for such a long time
Expecting nothing in return
Just for you to have a little faith in me
You know time, time is our friend
I will hold you up, I will hold you up
Your love gives me strength enough
Have a little faith in me
The song "Have A Little Faith In Me" by Joe Cocker is about being there for someone when they are going through a tough time.

The repeated line "Have a little faith in me" emphasizes the message that the singer is always there for the listener, ready to offer comfort and help.

The idea of trust is further emphasized when the singer promises to catch the listener's fall when their back is against the wall.
The song's heartfelt and emotionally charged lyrics clearly convey the message of being there for someone when they need it most. It speaks to the universal need for love and support during difficult times.

Когда на дороге темнеет
И ты больше не можешь видеть
Пусть моя любовь бросит искру
И хоть немного поверь в меня
И когда твои слезы
Это все, во что ты можешь верить
Дай шанс этим любящим рукам, детка
И хоть немного поверь в меня
Хоть немного поверь в меня
Когда твое скрытное сердце
Не может говорить так легко
Начни с шепота
И хоть немного поверь в меня
И когда ты стоишь спиной к стене
Просто постарайся и ты увидишь --
Я поймаю тебя, я поймаю, когда ты упадешь
Хоть немного поверь в меня
Хоть немного поверь в меня
Когда на дороге темнеет
И ты больше не можешь видеть
Пусть моя любовь бросит искру
И хоть немного поверь в меня
Хоть немного поверь в меня
Я люблю тебя так давно
Ничего не ожидая взамен
Ты просто немного поверь в меня
Ты знаешь -- время, время наш друг
Я всегда поддержу тебя, я поддержу тебя
Твоя любовь дает мне силы
Хоть немного поверь в меня
