The evening light is fading
an the moon is hangin low
I'd love to stay together
but ye know we have to go
Life brings its troubles
Why can't we be free?
But it won't be long now
till you're here with me
The winter may freeze you
The summer bleed you dry
That's why I'll be there for you
That's why I'll be there for you
An though we've come a long way
We've mountains yet to climb
No-one knows our future
or what we've yet to find
If I had some answers
or knew the questions too
I'd show you all there meaning
and stay right here with you
Folks may try to hurt you
but take it in your stride
That's why I'll be there for you
That's why I'll be there for you
In looking to the future
we can't escape the past
an though we've jumped some hurdles
our love is meant to last
Cynics may question us
and run down our trust
But we just soldier on
and win out we must
They may try to break us
but we'll see it through
That's why I'll be there for you
That's why I'll be there for you
