Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This is the life you saved, laid out before you
Everything that I think I have been and what I am now
Nothing can change the way I feel about you, no
Better we go on our separate ways
Nothing is left but the endless days
Nothing to cry but your name
[Verse 2]
Don't you look back, don't say a word
I will be lonely for you, I will be standing for you
Don't you despair, I will be there for you
(I will be there)
[Verse 3]
Maybe this time next year we'll be together
You can wipe away all of the tears, bring truth to the lies, uh-huh
There was a silent dream, we made a promise
We'd be there for each other forever
Aboard like a ship on an ocean's roar
Beating a path to your open door, nothing will keep me away
[Verse 4]
Don't you look back, don't say a word
I will be lonely for you, I will be standing for you
Don't you despair, I will be there for you
[Verse 5]
Each night, I pray to God above
You will be waitin' for me, you will be lonely for me
Don't you despair, I will be there for you
(Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh)
I will be there, oh-I
(Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh)
I will be there
[Verse 6]
Don't you look back, don't say a word
I will be lonely for you, I will be standing for you
Don't you despair, I will be there for you, oh, whoa
[Verse 7]
Farewell to you, goodbye for me
I will be waiting for you, I will be lonely for you
Don't you despair, 'cause I will be there for you
[Verse 8]
Oh, yeah, I will be there until the end
(Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh)
(Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh)
I will be there, oh, I, I will be there (I will be there)
(Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh)
Mmm-mmm, for you, I will be there
(Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh)
Mmm, I will be there, oh, ho-ho (I will be there)
I will be there
(Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh)
I will be there
