           If you need a helping hand..
              or solid ground on which to stand..
           If you only need a smile..
              or just to talk a little while..
           If you've had a real bad day..
              things aren't working out your way..
           The only thing that I can say is
                  I'll be there....


           If you're hurting deep inside..
              nothing works, you know, you've tried,
           If everyday your poor heart breaks..
              and you're tired of how it aches..
           If it's love that can't be found..
              and you're feeling really down..
           You just need to turn around..
                  I'll be there....


           I'll be there to stand by you..
           I'll be there to help you through..
           It's no matter what you do..
              I'll still be there....
           I'll be with you, right or wrong..
           I've been with you all along..
           When you're weak, I will be strong..
                  I'll be there....

              If it takes a lifetime long,
                  I'll still be there....

Sunny1, these are the words that every person longs to hear.  To know that there is a place in this world to turn to.  One person on whom you may count for ever; our rock.
That we all could find someone to be there!
Simply beautiful!

How very sweet and loving.  If we can do nothing else....just being there is comfort beyond words...and sometimes it's the most important thing of all.  Great work~

  To Gossamerwings.....Ah, yes, it will end
                       up as a song, no
                       doubt!

Michael......I've got the melody drifting
              through my head, but the words
              came first...

Zion....Maybe I was there..you never know!!

Butterflies...I agree, and sometimes just
               knowing there's a friend
               can be enough to lift us up!!

    Thank you all for giving me input on
    this.....I learn from you, and each of
    you says is so important to me........
