(Darrell Statler)

The dreams wouldn't haunt me every night
If you were standing here most by my side
You wouldn't see me crying the way I do
Oh, if only I could count on you.

Love could be the way it should be
If you'd only give a little and not take so much from me
I wouldn't dread to face each day anew
Oh, if only I could count on you.

Sometimes when I'm lonely you'd lend a hand
And when I'm down and blue you'd understand
A word from you could make my dreams come true
Oh, if only I could count on you.

Oh, if only I could count on you...
