You say you've cried a thousand rivers
And now you're swimming for the shore
You left me drowning in my tears
And you won't save me anymore
I'll pray to God to give me one more chance, girl
Chorus:
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I wanna be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and die for you
I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for you
Instr. Brk
v.2
I know you know we've had some good times
Now they have their own hiding place
I can promise you tomorrow
But I can't buy back yesterday
And Baby you know my hands are dirty
But I wanted to be your valentine
I'll be the water when you get thirsty, baby
When you wanna get drunk, I'll be the wine
Rpt. Ch.
Instr. Brk
v.3
And I wasn't there when you were happy
I wasn't there when you were down
I didn't mean to miss your birthday
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out
Rpt. Ch.
