When I was down you were always by my side When I was broke you would only save your dimes But in the storms at night I knew I was alright Because of you You were always there You lived in the air and you were always there The love I had for you defied despair It lived in the air, you were always there And you, you were always there You were always there, you were always there The precious times I woke up next to you Your selfless love could make the gray skies blue But when my world went black you always brought me back Because I knew You were always there Just like a prayer you were always there Mountains fall and rivers dry away But you always stayed, you always stayed And you, you were always there You were always there, you were always there You were always there And you're still there in my heart
