Lyrics Judy Collins – Not While I’m Around

Nothing’s gonna harm you, not while I’m around
Nothing’s gonna harm you, no sir, not while I’m around
Demons are prowling everywhere nowadays
I’ll send them howling

No one’s gonna hurt you
No one’s gonna dare
Others can desert you
Not to worry, whistle, I’ll be there
Demons’ll charm you with a smile, for a while
But in time…
Nothing can harm you
Not while I’m around…

Not to worry, not to worry
I may not be smart but I ain’t dumb
I can do it, put me to it
Show me something I can overcome
Not to worry, Mum

Being close and being clever
Ain’t like being true
I don’t need to
I would never hide a thing from you
Like some…

Nothin’s gonna harm you
Not while I’m around
Nothing’s gonna harm you, darling
Not while I’m around
Demons’ll charm you with a smile, for a while
But in time…
Nothing’s gonna harm you
