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
