You Were Always There
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The sun comes up
The world goes round and round
There's no bad luck, its
Just the luck you found
You steal away
Into a lonesome sun
Another day
Is lowered in the ground
I feel my heartbeat
It's pounding in my head
I hear the hooves beat
They must be drawing near
I feel the wind blow
It's rushing through my hair
Out in the shadows
Your face is everywhere
You were standing there beside me
Right where you are supposed to be right now
Now there is no one left to guide
Tell me now what I am supposed to do
I am supposed to do
You were always there
You were always there
You were always there
You were always there
A new horizon It's all supposed to be
I close my eyes
I look at what I see
I hear the laughing and crying from above
It's just the voice
Eternal hoping love
You were standing there beside me
Right where you are supposed to be right now
Now there is no one left to guide
Tell me now what I am supposed to do
I am supposed to do
You were always there
You were always there
You were always there
You were always there
(music)
You were always there
You were always there
You were always there
You were always there
You were always there
You were always there
You were always there
You were always there
