        Bobby Darin (born Walden Robert Cassotto; May 14, 1936–December 20, 1973) was an American singer, musician, and actor. He performed jazz, pop, rock and roll, folk, swing, and country music.

        He started his career as a songwriter for Connie Francis. He recorded his first million-selling single, "Splish Splash", in 1958. That was followed by "Dream Lover", "Mack the Knife", and "Beyond the Sea", which brought him worldwide fame. In 1962 he won a Golden Globe Award for his first film, Come September, co-starring his first wife, actress Sandra Dee.

       During the 1960s, he became more politically active and worked on Robert F. Kennedy's Democratic presidential campaign. He was present on the night of June 4/5, 1968, at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles at the time of Robert Kennedy's assassination.

        Although he made a successful comeback (in television) in the early 1970s, following bouts of rheumatic fever in childhood. The knowledge of his vulnerability had always spurred him on to use his musical talent while still young. He died at the age of 37 after a heart operation in Los Angeles.

I'll be there when all your dreams are broken

To answer your unspoken prayer, oh...

When the little things you're doin', ooh, don't turn out right

Don't you worry darlin' I'll be there

 

There whenever you need to know that there is someone who cares, oh yeah!

So if your new love isn't your true love

Don't you worry darlin', I'll be there

 

There whenever you need to know that there is someone who cares, oh yeah!

So if your new love isn't your true love

Don't you worry darlin', I'll be there

Don't you worry darlin', I'll be there

Don't you worry darlin', I'll be there
