[Verse 1]
If you're ever feeling down
If your world ain't turning around
I'll make it turn around for you
I'll do whatever I can do
If you ever need someone, (if you need someone)
I would love to be the one
Call when you're feeling all alone, (when you're all alone)
If you just need a hand to hold. (when you need a hand to hold)

[Chorus]
In a heartbeat
I'll be by your side
Any time you want me [x2]
In a heartbeat
You can have my love
Any time you want me
Baby, in a heartbeat I'll be there
(oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Verse 2]
If your sky is full of rain
I'll help you find the sun again
I'll chase the clouds away for you
I'll find a brighter day for you
Any hour of the night, (you know I'll be there)
I'll be there as fast as lightning strikes
And when you're feeling all alone, (when you're all alone)
I'll be the hand that you can hold. (when you need a hand to hold)

[Chorus]
In a heartbeat
I'll be by your side
Any time you want me [x2]
In a heartbeat
You can have my love
Any time you want me
Baby, in a heartbeat I'll be there
(baby, in a heartbeat I'll be there)
In a heartbeat
I'll be by your side
Any time you want me [x2]
In a heartbeat
You can have my love
Any time you want me
Baby, in a heartbeat I'll be there
In a heartbeat
I'll be by your side
Any time you want me [x2]
In a heartbeat
You can have my love

Ringo Starr

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
