I'll Be There

What do I say, what do I do?
How will I ever hope to fare?
How can I stay so close to you knowing now that your place is
In another's embraces, in another man's care?
I should be gone, far from this hell till not a trace of you survives
Yet I'll stay on, for I know well though you've left me behind you
One day troubles will find you, and when that day arrives
I'll be there
For to me there's no sorrow worse to bear
Than a life lived apart
I'll be there
Come the mists on the morrow
I'll be there by your side and deep within your heart
Now she's his wife and nobody knows how much of her she'll have to hide
But whatever life he may propose will be merely pretending to the dream never ending we'll all hold inside
I'll be there
Though I know that it's madness, heart laid bare
Stripped of pride yet still proud
I'll be there
In the depths of my sadness
I'll be there ever steeled, unyielding and unbowed
Go and marry a man you don't love if that pleases you
Throw away for a cause all the joys we have known
I heard love's more than faith, more than clans, more than anything
Let his kiss keep you warm, I'll be fine on my own
Is it me I'm deceiving? Mad or not I'll stay true
I'll be there
I'll be there, heaven speed me
By your side, as you need me
I'll be there for you
