I’m the kind who always sings

That won’t buy you diamond rings

But I’m on my way

Write  a hit some day

Just a hope that keeps me strong

Makes me know where I belong

And I’m in too deep

And the faith I keep

Nothing to rely on but a stupid chain of tones

Makes my heart beat faster, keeps me rollin on

Like a river on the sea

You can always count on me

Ain’t no bigger fool to be

-         Count on me

-         Count on me

Don’t you ask me to explain

I confess I’m still the same

You can count on me

I will always be

Don’t you wait for me to change

I’m too old to rearrange

And it’s hard to see:

I am proud to be

When I’m old and lonely I will be allright

Get my strings on stage and - play all through the night

Like a...

Too late to change what is right

Old friend is still by my side

You can count on me, count on me

You can count on me, you can count on me
