Lyrics
You were there when I was small
You slayed my dragons one and all
You were the one I laughed and cried with
Wanted so much to be like you
When I was three you ran away from home
I tagged along, wouldn't let you leave alone
We'd lie awake at night and laugh out loud
One thing I counted on was you
CHORUS
You were there
You were there
You were always there for me
Through the days, and the nights
I'll be there for you, I'll always be
2. You watched me grow and make mistakes
You couldn't always take my pain away
But you were there to laugh and cry with
When I needed someone, I had you
3. We've grown older, but not apart
You're with me now, just like at the start
And you're still here to laugh and cry with
I thank God that I have you
CHORUS
You are here
You are here
You are always here for me
Through the days, dark and light
I'll be here for you, I'll always be
You were there
You were there
You were always there for me
Through the days, and the nights
I'll be there for you, I'll always be
