You’ve Been There

⸻

When the rain came down, you held me close,

When the nights were long, you loved me most,

Every tear I cried, you wiped away,

Now I know I need you more each day.

I was blind, but now I see,

The love I needed was in front of me…

You’ve been there when I was falling,

You’ve been there through every storm,

You’ve been there, my one and only,

Your arms, they keep me warm.

Now I’m singing, oh I swear—

I love you, you’ve been there.

I used to dream of someone true,

Never knew that dream was you,

You never asked for much at all,

Just caught me every time I’d fall.

Now my heart can finally say,

You’re the one I’ll love always.

You’ve been there when I was lonely,

You’ve been there through every care,

You’ve been there, my one and only,

My heart’s no longer scared.

Now I’m singing, everywhere—

I love you, you’ve been there.

All the times I looked right past your face,

You never turned away, you stayed in place.

Now I know what love can do—

It brought me home to you.

You’ve been there, oh you’ve been there,

When I had no one to care,

You’ve been there, my darling, true and rare,

Now forever—

I’ll be there.
