Can I Lean on you Leona Could I rest here for a while Could I lean on you Leona Please help me make another mile Could I lean on you Leona Oh would you help me till I'm strong Could I lean on you Leona Till I can make it on my own Well you have been my rock for ages The only truth I've ever found And every time I've stumbled You've picked me up on my way down Oh you have been my sanctuary You've been my haven in the storm And I've always found a shelter Here inside you loving arms Could I lean on you Leona? Could I rest here for a while Could I lean on you Leona Please help me make another mile Could I lean on you Leona Would you help me till I'm strong Could I lean on you Leona Till I can make it on my own? You have always been my sunshine When I'm running from the rain Well I know I'm wearin' out my welcome Just one more time please ease the pain Could I lean on you Leona Could I rest here for a while Could I lean on you Leona Please help me make another mile Could I lean on you Leona Would you help me till I'm strong Could I lean on you Leona Till I can make it on my own Could I lean on you Leona Could I rest here for awhile Could I lean on you Leona Please help me make another mile
