I'Ll Be With You

I don't know much about lies
But I know this much is true,
That the key to my heart
Belongs to you.
Cause in the dark of the night,
It would always be your light
That brought me to a new day
I may have never knew.

And when the storms came
The sun became your smile,
Even though the skies were gray
You were shining all the while,

When the other people turned away
You looked at me and dared to say,
"You'll no longer be out here all alone,

Cause I'll be with you."

Even though I wasn't perfect,
Even though I wasn't smart,
You looked past all of those faults,
And saw straight into my heart.
And even though I was so worthless,
Even though I was the one to blame,
You didn't even care at all,
And my troubles washed away in the rain.

And when the storms came
The sun became your smile,
Even though the skies were gray
You were shining all the while,

When the other people turned away
You looked at me and dared to say,
"You'll no longer be out here on your own,

Cause I'll be with you."

Yeah!

My pain is gone
My heart is new,
And I feel happy

Cause I am with you.
