You were there

Verse

When I fumbled at the goal line

And it cost us the game.

You said don’t let it get to you.

The weather was to blame.

You’re not always going to win.

Life is not always fair.

Some how you made it all better.

just by you being there.

Chorus

I remember, I remember

You were there.

I remember, I remember

You were there.

Verse

You were there when my father died.

Held my hand by the grave.

Assured me he’d gone to heaven.

Said don’t try to be brave.

You helped me make the arrangements.

Gave me strength to go on.

Seems you’ve always been by my side

Whenever things go wrong.

Chorus

I remember, I remember

You were there.

I remember, I remember

You were there.

Verse

For my college graduation.

For the walk down the aisle.

For the parties in the back yard.

You’ve been there with your smile.

When I got my big promotion.

For new years at time’s square.

For my birthdays and holidays.

You have always been there.

Chorus

I remember, I remember

You were there.

I remember, I remember

You were there.

Tag

In my dreams in my prayers.

You’ll always be there.
