I'LL ALWAYS BE THERE
There you sit before me, as the lights are all dim
I slowly approach you with a rose, I do this on a whim
You are all alone, I can't believe that this is true
As I draw nearer, I see it is you
Your eyes are saddened and your smile is not aware
As he stood you up when he said, "I'll be there."
I ask if I can join you, to try to make you smile
In doing so I promise, it will only be for a while
I need to make you happy, to bring you good cheer
Wondering if I can make you grin from ear to ear
I hand you the rose, to take away the frown
And promise that I will keep your spirits UP not DOWN
We share a glass of wine for memory that we met
I look into your eyes and say, "I will never forget."
While holding my hand, you say, "Thank you very much."
Our lips slowly make contact as we experience our first touch
The warmth in our hearts may be difficult to describe
But knowing this makes us realize how much we are alive
Before I leave for the night, I run my fingers through your hair
Whispering softly, "When you need me...
I'LL BE THERE."
