So early in the morning I wake up and roll out of bed

To find you so sweet and gentle inside my head

A dream that still lingers like fingers through your long hair

Forever inside my heart you're always there

 

You came into my life when my eyes were closed

A young man with no direction for love I'd suppose

So I shot cupids arrow straight to the sun's bright glare

And hit your big heart, so lucky that you were right there

 

[Chorus]

You're always there for me, you're always there for me

A shoulder to lean on right next to the heart that is on your sleeve

You're always there for me, you're always there for me

I'll take my forever and place you inside it to always be with me

 

Like many I was so afraid to fall in love

All the aftershocks of times where push came to shove

But I tore down those walls so tall and I quit being scared

So surprised to find behind them was you standing there

 

Sometimes love can fall like leaves at a summer's end

For each one a memory of times that we got to spend

Together we'd shine like diamonds our own treasures to bear

At the end of a rainbow I went to find you lying there

 

[Chorus]

 

There's deserts and mountains, there's sometimes oceans between

The place that we lie at nights to drift in our dreams

But there's no one, there's nothing that ever comes close to compare

And there's never a lonely moment because you're always there

 

[Chorus]

 

[Chorus]

A friend when it's needed, a red sky at night when I'm lost at sea

YOU'RE ALWAYS THERE FOR ME
