You Were There

Through the loneliness of the years
And the battle against countless fears
You were there
Through the pain of delusional thoughts
And the constant threat of the “nots”
You were there

Through all the lonesome nights
And the sorrow of lost fights
You were there
Through the struggle against dream extinction
And the need for the right direction
You were there

You were there all the time
With no need for a sign
You were there through the pain
Bringing me out of the rain
You were there in the good days
Taking me where a dream lays
I know now what they say is true
I can always count on you

When happiness knocked on my door
And my feet rose above the floor
You were there
When sweet fate let me hold the keys
And snow wouldn’t bring me to my knees
You were there

When euphoria showed it’s face to me
And my wishes floated in a generous sea
You were there
When my lips were lighted with smiles
And my life was flying easy miles
You were there

You were there all the time
With no need for a sign
You were there through the pain
Bringing me out of the rain
You were there in the good days
Taking me where a dream lays
I know now what they say is true
I can always count on you

You brought me up when I was down
You made my body dance around
You put some faith where there was none
You were my friends through the darkened sun

You were there all the time
With no need for a sign
You were there through the pain
Bringing me out of the rain
You were there in the good days
Taking me where a dream lays
I know now what they say is true
I can always count on you

In all the years and miles between us
And even when I couldn’t see
You always had the right chorus
And there were times you were everything to me

You were there
No questions asked

So if I ever forget to tell you
Or fate denies me the chance
I want you to know I believe you
And the future is more than a verb tense

Loving you wasn’t a choice
But your words make my dreams last
Just keep on rockin’, boys
‘Cause you’re the best

You were there all the time
With no need for a sign
You were there through the pain
Bringing me out of the rain
You were there in the good days
Taking me where a dream lays
I know now what they say is true
I can always count on you
