When you go through a day

And the things that people say

They make you feel so small

They make you feel that

Your heart will just never stop aching

And when you just can't accept

The abuse you are taking

Darlin' reach out for me

Don't you worry I'll see you through

You just have to reach out for me

I'll be there and I'll confort you

Oh yes I will

Comfort you and love you

How I'm gonna love you

When good friends prove untrue

And the things they do to you

They make you feel so bad

They make you feel that

You haven't a reason for living

So when you feel you

Could throw in the towel and just given in

Darlin' reach out for me

This is one of Dionne's most beautifully written and sang, with such sweet tenderness.we all would love to have someone who would tell us and mean it just "Reach out for me".And I'll see you through,oh yes I will,comfort you and love you.oh ,how I'm gonna love you.Awesome lyrics.Bacharach and David were a dream team with Dionne.once in a blue moon ,the UNIVERSE will put together separate individuals who ,when paired together,creates.perfection.

I was in a night club and they played the last number Walk On By, which I had heard often and liked, and prompted me to buy Dionne Warwick Golden Hits the following day. Then I found this diamond, which has to be my favourite of the lady.The intro grabs you within the first second and never lets up, then Dionne sings, perfection, outstanding singing, lyrics, backing and arrangement. Doesn't get much better than this.

This is one of Ms. Warwick's best performances. What a wonderful streak of hits she produced with Burt Bacharach and Hal David. They all inspired top quality work from each other.

DETROITMUSICMANThis is a gem of a Dionne Warwick song. Funny how the radio stations don't play this anymore. As if it has just been forgotten. But the greatness of this song truly displays just how phenomenal the "#1 female vocalist in America" was in the early part of her career. Such grace, elegance and femininity is just unmatched. What an incredible voice! This song is truly rediscovered treasure!
