Looking for I'll Be There - Gloria Gaynor ( Not Jackson Five!)

[Jerome D. Silberstein]

Hello;

I've seen several versions of the Lyrics for I'll Be There - including the ones attributed to the Jackson Five.

But I'm looking for the Gloria Gaynor version.

The Jackson five starts out:

You and I must make a pact
We will Bring Salvation back'
Where theres Love - I'll be there

I'll reach out my hand to you
I'll have faith in all you do
Just call my name - I'll be there

BUT - that doesnt seem to fit the Gloria Gaynor arrangement

So if anyone can help - it would be appreciated

    Well, you are right, it's not by the Jackson 5.  Gloria covered this song by the Four Tops.  --mamu

Reach Out, I'll Be There
Gloria Gaynor

Now if you feel that you can't go on
Because all of your hope is gone
And your life is filled with much confusion
Until happiness is just an illusion
And your world around is crumbling down

Darling, reach out (come on girl, reach out for me)
Reach out (reach out for me)
I'll be there with the love that will shelter you
I'll be there with a love that will see you through

Now when you feel lost and about to give up
'Cause your best just ain't good enough
And you feel the world has grown cold
And you're drifting out all on your own
And you need a hand to hold

Darling, reach out (come on girl, reach out for me)
Reach out (reach out for me)
I'll be there to love and comfort you
And I'll be there to cherish and care for you
I'll be there to always see you through
I'll be there to love and comfort you

I can tell the way you hang your head
You're without love and now you're afraid
And through your tears you look around
But there's no peace of mind to be found
(I know what you're thinking)
You're alone now, no love of your own

Darling, reach out (come on girl, reach out for me)
Reach out (reach out for me)
I'll be there to give you all the love you need
And I'll be there, you can always depend on me
