Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When there's clouds hangin' in the sky
And they're just not lettin' any light in
And you feel like you'd like to give in
Don't you give up so soon
What you need is a friend to count on
What you got baby you got someone
And won't let it fall on you
I'll see you through
I'll cover you
With a love so deep and warm and true
I will be there, oh
Honey, I'll be your shelter
I'll be the one to take you through the night
Whenever you need shelter
I'll make everything alright, make everything alright, yeah
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na
I got arms strong enough to hold you
Get you through anything you go through
Anything that you need, you know
It's only a touch away
When your heart needs a heart beside it
Should be mine that's it's keepin' time with
'Cause I got so much love inside
It beats for you every day
I'll be the one
To give you love
When it seems like there's just not enough
Mine will be there, oh
Honey I'll be your shelter
I'll be the one to take you through the night
Whenever you need shelter
I'll make everything alright, make everything alright, yeah
Na, na, na-na-na-na

Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na
I'll be your shelter, be your shelter, baby
I'll see you through
I'll cover you
With a love so deep and warm and true
Mine will be there, oh
Honey, I'll be your shelter
I'll be the one to take you through the night
Whenever you need shelter
I'll make everything alright, make everything alright
And I'll be your shelter
I'll be the one to take you through the night
Whenever you need shelter
I'll make everything alright, make everything alright, yeah

I am-Taylor Dayne had some super awesome songs in late 1980's/early 1990's and this one is one her very best! Reminds me of one of my very best female friends named Jaime Rowe-a very caring and best female friend to me for 23+ years!
@yeahnaloveit4569
Still feel it and still a bloody good song
@robertmorse2296
One of the most underrated voices of this era
@mantelmann13
One of the most annoying and skull piercing voices. Besides that your comment is absolutely wrong. Two Grammy nominations, several other awards and 75 million (!!!!!) records sold. HOW can you say that's underrated? Are you out of your mind?
@CaraDulceyTanMala48
As a morbidly shy 4th grader in 1990, I'd go home and use my hairbrush microphone to belt out Taylor Dayne as I watched her videos on VH1. I wanted her and Billy Idol to be my parents.

God, that's preciously funny.
