Lyrics

You and me, we've come a long way you know, baby.
But we've still got a long way to go, maybe.
Even if we don't have too much to show for it.

No matter what happens I'll always be here for you.
In the hard times I know love will see us through.
'Cause you know I will do whatever I have to do, girl.

Depend on me,
I'll always be around.
Depend on me
'Cause I won't let you down.

Everything, every way,
You know that every time, every day,
I do it all for you.
You can depend on me.

Every hour and every minute,
In all I do my heart is in it.
Give my life for you,
You can depend on me

One, two, three, go!

Depend on me
Depend on me
Depend on me

Actually, I thought about including this song and "MAKE YOU HAPPY" in dm2nd. However, due to troubles with the schedules of the designers, I had to postpone it. It's been a year since then, but I wonder if I can get it right. This song is no longer for me or Thomas anymore, but it's for everyone who loves dm and GF.
