I'll Be There
Gail Davies Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There ain't no chain tight enough to hold me
There ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
I never have seen a river that been too wide
There ain't no jail tight enough to lock me
There ain't no man big enough to stop me
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side

Well love me if you ever want to hug me
I never have seen a road to rough to ride
Well I'll be there ready and a-waiting
There won't be any hesitation
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side

Well there ain't no ropes tight enough to bind me
Look for me honey and you will find me
Any old time you're ready with your charm
Well I'll be there ready and a-waiting
There won't be any hesitation
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side

Well love me if you ever want to hug me
I never have seen a road to rough to ride
And I'll be there ready and a-waiting




There won't be any hesitation
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side
