P. Cetera/M.Goldenberg)

Arranged by Peter Cetera and Mark Goldenberg

Horns Arranged by Jimmy Pankow



There is a time when a man needs somebody to talk to

Someone to talk to, somebody who'll always be there



All alone, nothin' seemed to matter

So alone, doesn't get much better

Can't explain somethin' that you're feelin'

For the very first time



There was a time when you needed someone to hold onto

Someone to hold you, somebody who's always sincere



All alone, suddenly you see her

So alone, you know y

Can't explain, somethin' that you're feelin'

For the very first time



Chorus:

Then along comes a woman

There's a change in the way that you're feeling tonight

Then along comes a woman

And you know that it's right



There was a time when you needed someone to count on

You needed someone to count on, somebody to care



Now she's here, nothin' seems to matter

She's so near, everything is better

Can't explain, somethin' that you're feelin'

For the very first time



Chorus
