I Will Be Here

Hazell Dean · Other Songs - Hazell Dean

Tomorrow morning if you wake up

And the sun does not appear

I will be here here

If in the dark we lose sight of love

Hold my hand and have no fear

Cause I will be here.

I will be here when you feel like being quiet

WHen you need to speak your mind I will listen

And I will be here

When the laughter turns to crying

Through the winning losing and trying

We'll be together

Cause I will be here.

Tomorrow morning if you wake

And the future is unclear

I will be here

As sure as seasons are made for change

Our lifetimes are made for years

So I will be here.

I will be here and you can cry on my shoulder

When the mirror tells us we're older

I will hold you

And I will be here to watch you grow in beauty

And tell you all the things you are to me

I will be here.

I will be true to the promise I have made

To you and to the one who gave you to me...
