HELPING HAND (Pete Ham)
[from "Golders Green" CD]

All I need is my lover

Someone who'll make me feel okay

Any time of the day

But we need to discover

Some way to soothe our blues away

On the darkest of days

And when I need a helping hand

Oh, my love, I wish you'd understand

Wish you'd feel inside my mind

And join in with the things that you find

All I need is your interest

Just an opinion to compare

There's so much more we can share

There is more to a lover's nest

Than just feeling happy, we are there

There's so much more we can share

And when you need a helping hand

If we talk, maybe I'll understand

Let me feel inside your mind

Let me join in with all I can find

We could make our love stronger, oh-oh

We could be even stronger, that's no lie

We could take our love higher, oh-oh

We could be even higher

If we try, and we try, and we try, and we try, and we try


[Country-style guitar solo]


Please, don't think you'd interfere

I'd respect you for letting me hear

Come together with our minds

There is more, so much more we can find


We could make our love stronger, oh-oh

We could be even stronger, that's no lie

We could take our love higher, oh-oh

We could be even higher

If we try, and we try, and we try, and we try, and we try, and we try ,and we try, and we try, if we try.
