I Will
David Foster feat Tony Smith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When life seems hopeless
And you're all alone (all alone)
And no-one's there to dry
The teardrops from your eyes
When you can't find a single reason left to try
Baby I will (baby I will)
Baby I will
Tell me the secrets
That you've locked away (locked away)
Confide your deepest fears
That haunt you every day
All of the little things
Nobody else could understand
Baby I will (baby I will)
I will

It's alright
I'll be there
Count on me
Anytime, anywhere
I'll show you love
'Till the end of my life
When no-one else will stand by your side
I will

When all you've counted on
Comes tumbling down (tumbling down, tumbling down)
And there's only emptyness
That nothing seems to fill
And when you can't remember
How to be strong
Baby I will (baby I will)
I will

It's alright
I'll be there
Count on me
Anytime, anywhere
I'll show you love
'Till the end of my life
When no-one else will stand by your side
I will

When no-one else will stand by your side
I will

It's alright
I'll be there
Count on me
Anytime, anywhere (anytime, anywhere)
I'll show you love (I'll show you love)
'Till the end of my life
When no-one else will stand by your side





I'll be standing right by your side
I will
