You Were There

Oh, yeah
Baby I'm sorry that I took so long to grow
But there's so much about myself I didn't know
I guess I must have let you down a million times or more
But through all those hungry years
When I couldn't find the tears.

You were there
Telling me to go ahead and cry
You were there
Telling me to go back out and try
When the world told me that my finest dreams were castles in the air
Oh, I came running home
And you were there
Huh baby
I know.

If I could give you back
A yesterday or two
I'll try to melt away the pain I put you through
I just didn't have enough of me That I could share with you
But I notice every time
When I had a hill to climb.

You were there
Telling me to go ahead and cry
You were there
Telling me to go back out and try
And your love kept on shining through the darkest moments of despair
Everytime I needed
You were there.

And I believe in everything
Yes, and I believe in you
I know you do
I believe in you.

You were there
Telling me to go ahead and cry
You were there
(Oh yes you were)
Telling me to go back out and try
When he world told us that our finest dreams were castles in the air
I remember baby
I came running home
I came running home
And you were there
Yes, baby
We were there.
