[Verse 1]
There goes the sunshine
Here comes the rain
And heartache pain
What can i do but wait for you?
Darling, the days I had were cold
Now our separate ways we go
It seems you want more
Than the love I can give
But I can't make you stay
And you've got your life to live

[Chorus]
But if it gets too rough
Call on me

[Verse 2]
Dreams of golden glare
Taking you away from here
But if ever things that have to be
Turns your dreams around
Love and understanding is what you need

[Chorus]
If you can't get enough
Call on me

[Bridge]
I'm so sad you're leaving
It's gonna kill me not to be with you
But I want you to be happy
If heartache's what you want
Then I want it too

[Verse 3]
So goodbye with all my prayers
For your happiness in a world elsewhere

[Chorus]
Should you arrive and it's not there
Call on me, call on me

[Outro]
Yes, happiness waits for you elsewhere
Remember this
Should you arrive and it's not there
Call on me, call on me

Yes, happiness waits for you elsewhere
Remember this
Should you arrive and it's not there
Call on me

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana. Jackson began his career when he was seven years old as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, breaking into stardom in 1969 after signing into Motown. The Jackson 5’s first four singles all peaked at number one on the Billboard 100, and soon after Michael pursued a solo career.

His breakthrough fifth album, 1979’s Off The Wall produced four top ten hits (including “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”) and sold 20 million copies, establishing him as a household name. The album was followed with 1982’s Thriller, which became the best selling album of all time, and was the first album to feature seven top 10 singles, including “Billie Jean” and “Beat It.”

In 1985, Michael contributed to the collaboration single “We Are The World”, which remains one of the best-selling singles of all time and raised nearly $65 million for famine relief.
