Call Me
Walter Wanderley and Astrud Gilberto Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you're feeling sad and lonely
There's a service I can render
Tell the one who loves you only
I can be so warm and tender
Call me, don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me, and I'll be around
When it seems your friends desert you
There's somebody thinking of you
I'm the one who'll never hurt you
Maybe that's because I love you
Call me, don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me, and I'll be around

Now don't forget me
Cause if you let me
I will always stay by you
You've got to trust me
That's how it must be
There's so much that I can do

If you call I'll be right with you
You and I should be together
Take this love I long to give you
I'll be at your side forever
Call me, don't be afraid, you can call me




Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me and I'll be around
