Always Right Here

When sorrow and sadness surround in the night
When you suddenly feel so alone
When days seem so dreary, with no end in sight
And your heart feels empty and cold.

When time keeps on moving, a long endless flight
And carries you with it, far away out of sight
Don't give up, oh my love, please stay in this fight
I will never, no never let you go.

I'm always right here, here now beside you
I'm always right here, to hold you so close
I'll be with you ‘til this time passes by, somehow
And I'll stay here with you, dear, forever.

When troubles and trials of life bring you down
You're lost in a maze and there's no one around
I will come to your rescue, I won't let you frown
I will carry you home again in my arms. 

I'm always right here, here now beside you
I'm always right here, to hold you so close
I'll be with you ‘til this time passes by, somehow
And I'll stay here with you, dear, forever.


When dreams start to crumble, you tremble within
When life seems so weary, the future looks grim
When you're ready to give up, I'll hold you again
And I'll never let you go, no never...
