Lyrics Shelter - Joe South

Shelter

When this old world has got you down
And your faith and hope decreases
Not one true friend can be found
And your dreams fall to pieces
I’m gonna prove that it’s all worthwhile
Turn every teardrop into a smile
Just let my love (Love be your shelter)
Let it be your shelter (Love be your shelter)
Whoa, whoa, yeah (Love be your shelter)
And it’ll be all right (Be all right)
I’ll put a roof up over your head
And three meals on the table
Dry every teardrop that you shed
Long as I’m alive and I’m able
When you need me, darlin' I’ll understand
Just reach out now, take my hand
And let my love (Love be your shelter)
Let it be your shelter (Love be your shelter)
Whoa, yeah (Love be your shelter)
Yeah, it’ll be all right (Be all right)
Let it be your shelter
When you’re lost and you can’t find your way
Let it be your shelter
To protect you each and every day
When your troubles get so hard to bear
And you wonder now does anybody care?
Just let my love (Love be your shelter)
When you’re all alone and blue, baby (Love be your shelter)
And you don’t know what to do, whoa (Love be your shelter)
It’ll be all right (Be all right)
Let it be your shelter
When you’re lost and you can’t find your way
Let it be your shelter
To protect you each and every day
When you need me, I’ll understand
Just reach out now and take my hand
Let my love (Love be your shelter)
I’ll be right there beside you (Love be your shelter)
To protect you every night (Love be your shelter)
It’ll be all right (Be all right)
You ought to let my love (Love be your shelter)
Be your shelter, baby (Love be your shelter)
Oh, yeah (Love be your shelter)
It’ll be all right (Be all right)
When there’s storm clouds above you (Love be your shelter)
You don’t know what to do (Love be your shelter)
Call my name (Love be your shelter)
And it’ll be all right (Be all right)
Ring my number (Love be your shelter)
Let me be, baby (Love be your shelter)
Let our love be your shelter (Love be your shelter)
It’ll be all right (Be all right)
