Lou Gold and His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Any old time you want me
I am yours for just the asking, darling
Any old time you need me
I'll be there with love that's lasting, darling
All through the years, we'll stand together
Sharing the tears and stormy weather
And the sunshine will be yours and mine
Any old time you're blue
You'll have our love to chase away the blues
And any old thing you do, I'll see you through
So just remember that I am waiting, dear




If ever you want me I'll be near
Any old time and any place where you may be
