I'Ll Always Be There

I'll always be there

I know you felt so persecuted
so abandoned and deserted
but, many troubles were averted
I'll always be there

I know, life's been hard on you
but, you have had some blessings too
somehow true love has escaped you
but, I'll always be there

Bridge
Your days have been filled with trouble
you've not yet learned how to live
Why not learn from my experience

Chorus
Are you ready?  'Cause I'm ready!
to give.....love
When you're ready,  I'll  be ready!
to share...love

Here in this wild and crazy world
you're my one and only girl
so, take my hand let's give it a whirl
I'll always be there

Life with me is not like a dream
'cause this life's much harder, than it seems
but we can win, 'cause we're  on the same team
I'll always be there

Chorus
Are you ready?  'Cause I'm ready!
to give.....love
When you're ready,  I'll  be ready!
to share...love

Our life's been great all through these years
We've both conquered all of our fears
and, I'll keep drying all your tears
yes, I'll always be there!

Chorus repeat and fade

Well done, as always, John. I'd love to crawl into your brain when you're piecing these together. I imagine it sounds like a noisy bar with Cat Stevens on stage playing the mandolin, with all of it melding into one succinctly beautiful statement.

Cat Stevens eh! Well that's not too bad, I take that as a compliment, except for I think he's a little older than me...perhaps. lol Thanks for the mental image and cool comment Phillip!

Hey Danny, thanks for the visit, if it's not from the heart it is obvious or contrived, and that never touches anyone, so thanks for the thumbs up, take care!
