Be There

I want you to be there for me,
When everyone else has gone,
I want you to listen to me,
Whether I am right or wrong.

Be there for me in the evening,
When I've had a wretched day,
Be my source of encouragement,
Know all the right things to say.

Share my joy when I am happy,
Share my tears when I cry,
Offer tender words of comfort,
When you hear me sob and sigh.

Take note of what I say to you,
Please show me that you care,
Tell me what other people say,
Is neither here nor there.

Be there when I trip and stumble,
Reach out and hug me close to you,
For as long as you need me,
I will be there for you too.
