Shelter - Joe South

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)
