I'LL BE THERE

I'LL BE THERE

You left me but there are things that you will see that will make things start.

When you see the places we went and the things we had done, I will fill your heart.

I will always be there, in a sight, in a smell, or a stare.

You will hear a voice saying I will always be here, as it whispers in your ear.

There'll be a smile that you'll have to explain,

As you think about a kiss in the rain.

There'll be a chill that goes up your spine,

As you think about our lips touching for the very first time.

There'll be our favorite place to eat,

If you can go in and take a seat.

Memories will make you sigh, you may even cry,

Because as you look across the table, there am I.

There’s a vampire movie that we saw number one and you're a big fan.

When you go to see number two, you'll feel me holding your hand.

The smell of popcorn will invade your senses, it will be everywhere.

The buttery aroma will make you think of me and I'll be there.

One day when you're thinking about something else, I will pop into your head.

It will just be some old memory of something I had said.

The wind will blow your hair and you'll feel a brush on your cheek.

Me gazing deep into your eyes will be the memory you seek.

You'll pass by places where we spent the night.

You'll think about a time when things were just right.

There were nights that started out just to cuddle.

We ended up making love but it started out really subtle.

Someday when you pass by the places we used to meet,

Maybe you'll feel something that makes your heart fall to your feet.

This is where we used to talk for hours on end.

It's where we got to know each other; it's where it all really began.

When you see the glasses that we used to drink cherry wine,

You will think of when I was yours and you were mine.

When you’re old and gray, something will make you think of someone who once cared.

An uncontrollable feeling will invade your heart, you'll close your eyes and I'll be there.
