I'll Be There

I'll Be There - A Change of Pace

You've felt alone

Since you were only seven

Your mother didn't have a clue what to do

You cried each night

Until you were eleven

You prayed that God

Would bring your daddy back to you

It got much worse

When you were in high school

From guy to guy

You wondered why you never felt a thing

You wondered if you'd ever find a lover who'd someday

Get down on his knees

Holding that diamond ring

This summer's taking me to California

But I won't go until you know that what I say is true

When everything you've ever loved has left you

I'll be there yeah

I'll be there for you

Your senior year

You and your friends went crazy

But then you found out who your friends really were

You were betrayed by everyone that mattered

So you drank until it all became a blur

But don't forget about when I first met you

Well I can see a pain too deep to kiss away

You thought that I would be another let down

So here I am

Proving to you that I am here to stay

This summer's taking me to California

But I won't go until you know that what I say is true

When everything you've ever loved has left you

I'll be there yeah

I'll be there for you

I don't wanna leave you lonely

I just wanna be right here

Even if you don't believe me

I will try to make it clear

This summer's taking me to California

But I won't go until you know that what I say is true

When everything you've ever loved has left you

I'll be there yeah

I'll be there for

This summer's taking me to California

But I won't go until you know that what I say is true

When everything you've ever loved has left you

I'll be there yeah I'll be there for you
