Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's so hard to say
How a love could end this way
The one that sed to care for you
Just turned and walked away
And it's so hard to find
To leave the pain behind
When all the things you're lookin' for
You're heart can't seem to find

I'll be the air that your breathe
I'll give the strength that you need
I'll be the light in your eyes
When hope becomes hard to see
I'll be your shining star
To guide you wherever you are
And I promise that I'll be by your side
Always you and I

You know you're not alone
Without a love to call your own
I'll always be right there for you
To help you carry on
A heart that's always true
Girl I'm giving mine to you
And everything you ever need
I promise I will do

I'll be the air that your breathe
I'll give the strength that you need
I'll be the light in your eyes
When hope becomes hard to see
I'll be your shining star
To guide you wherever you are
And I promise that I'll be by your side
Always you and I

Girl in all your sleepless hours
I will be right there for you
With a hand to hold
A heart to see you through
Each and every night
I will make it right
When life feels so wrong
Cause in my arms is where you belong

I'll be the air that your breathe
I'll give the strength that you need
I'll be the light in your eyes
When hope becomes hard to see
I'll be your shining star
To guide you wherever you are




And I promise that I'll be by your side
Always you and I
