Can't remember my first mem'ry of you you were always there
|
And now I know I never knew you well
|
But I was just a kid and you were always there to pick me up everytime I fell
|
And you always warmed a blanket to wrap around my feet
|
When you tucked me into bed to say my prayers
|
And I'll bet I never thanked you among all the other things
|
That I took for granted cause you were always there
|
Yes you were always there so we never took the time
|
For you to tell me your dreams and me to tell you mine
|
And we never took the time to talk of love and happiness
|
And life and death and heartache and pain and loneliness
|
|
Why I don't even know if you were happy or if you could have been
|
Or if you could have one wish what would it be
|
Or what would you do differently if you could live again
|
And were you glad that you gave life to me
|
And I'd give anything to tell you am I glad that you were born
|
But you'll never hear the words I've learned to say
|
Cause before I got to know you died of loneliness
|
And they tell me I grew up and moved away
|
Yes you were always there so we never took the time
|
For you to tell me your dreams and me to tell you mine
|
There were so many things that could have been but now we'll never share
|
Cause kids don't know much and you were always there
|
No kids don't know much and you were always there
|

You Were Always There
