YOU’LL BE THERE

(written by Randy Kartchner & Kenneth Cope)

 

You’ve been away so long

I’ve been trying to love again

Faces come and gone

But no power to move this man

 

And I won’t lie anymore

Remembering is hard on starting over

No I can’t hide it anymore

Every morning you’re still with me

And morning’s not the end

 

CHORUS:

You’ll be there in the afternoon

You’ll be there when the night comes calling

I can’t forget all I had with you

No matter where, if I’m breathing

You’ll be there

 

I’ve been a fool too long

No illusion could bring you back

But something right gone wrong

Has me living in the past

 

And I can’t fight it anymore

The memory has all but taken over

Why, oh, why I try anymore

Every morning you’re there waiting

And morning’s here again

 

REPEAT CHORUS

 

Love can last beyond the years

But our years are gone

And all I’ve left are souvenirs

While today drags on – on and on
