I'll Always Be There For You

I'll Always Be There For You - Brian McComas

Late night call collect from Arkansas

She said brother I need your help

She said there's this boy

And I could tell by the crack in her voice

She was in real trouble and all by herself

She said I don't want to be a burden

It's not your problem

Maybe I should just hang up

After all we're years apart and not much in common

And we haven't kept in touch

And I said I may have moved away

And I know that on the day I left

I let you down

But you're still my baby sister

So always remember it's by blood that we are bound

I may be here but I'll always be there for you

I know it's bad but you gotta tell Mom and Dad

You don't have to do this all alone

If I leave right now I should be there by morning

And we can tell them together when I get home

We'll talk and pray and cry a little

We'll work this thing out

We'll do whatever it takes

We'll stand beside you try to guild you

That's what familys about

But it's your decision to make

Six months later on a Sunday morning

That baby girl was born

And we all stood in wonder around the bed

Looking at her that little pink sleeper

I knew in my heart that she wanted to keep her

But God had a bigger plan instead

A young couple came and I heard my sister say

I just wanna give my child the life that she deserves

We all held hands

Then she handed her to them

And we all cried as she whispered these words

I'll think about you every day

I'm only giving you away 'cause I can't raise you now

I brought you into this world

You'll always be my little girl

It's by blood that we are bound

I may be here but I'll always be there for you

I may be here but I'll always be there for you
