I Won’t Crumble With You If You Fall.

Singer: Tom Jones. Songwriters: Bernice Reagon.

The wonderful voice of Tom Jones is like a fine wine. It just gets better & better with age.

I will wake in the morning if you call,
And I’ll stand beside you as long as I can.
I will hold back the evening of your sun,
But I won’t crumble with you if you fall.

I will shadow the heat of your days,
And I’ll drink from the sweat of your brow.
I will walk to the tune of your song,
But I won’t crumble with you if you fall.

Come and walk with me and hold to my hand.
Touch me, let me know I am here by myself.
Stretch my night dreams into my days.
Stop short of falling apart if I go down.

I’ll wake in the morning if you call.
And I’ll stand beside you as long as I can.
I will hold back the evening of your sun,
But I won’t crumble with you if you fall.
