Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hate to see you looking like, you're lost and lonely
It isn't easy when you're all by yourself
Don't you worry, I hear you 'cause I know what it's like
And if you look you'll find, I got you on my mind 'cause baby
I'll be there for you
When you need sombody I'll be there for you
When you want someone who cares
When you call me, I'll be there I wanna show you how good it will be
Never needed anyone the way I need you right now
You know you'll never be alone anymore
We can make it, together It's gonna be all right
And if you look you'll find, I got you on my mind 'cause baby

Lyrics:
I guess this time you're really leaving
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
Well, as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love, it's suicide
You say you've cried a thousand rivers
And now you're swimming for the shore
You left me drowning in my tears
And you won't save me anymore
I'm praying to God you'll give me one more chance, girl
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe, I wanna be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for you
I know you know we've had some good times
Now they have their own hiding place
Well, I can promise you tomorrow
But I can't buy back yesterday
Yeah, baby, you know my hands are dirty
(Oh, woman, you know my hands are dirty)
But I wanted to be your Valentine
I'll be the water when you get thirsty, baby
When you get drunk, I'll be the wine, oh
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe, I wanna be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for you
I wasn't there when you were happy
(I wasn't there to make you happy)
And I wasn't there when you were down, down
Didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out
Oh
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe, I wanna be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe, I wanna be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for you
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa

Here directly from Brazil in 2024 listening to the best music of all time! I like meeting cool, empathetic and intelligent people who also listen to and enjoy these special, original, beautiful, timeless and wonderful songs...
I want to become a DJ and cultural producer (despite being middle-aged and having few financial resources for this project), in order to help reunite and revive our generation that loves and keeps this culture and the Golden Age of world music alive. ..and also, being able to take these songs to new generations,...I believe that good music transforms lives!
These wonderful sounds, which touched (and still touch our hearts) that made us vibrate, have deep feelings, truly feel and live life, courage to go to fight, reflect, dream and share with others and that elevated our minds and hearts....will never cease to exist and through all of us, in our memories and feelings, we will keep this light and flame burning and carry it forward for generations and generations!
I deeply thank everyone in whatever way they support the realization of this (old) dream and carry out this mission and project!
I sincerely wish you lots of love, light, wisdom, peace and well-being in the lives of everyone reading this comment, and may you enjoy lots of good music in your lives
Well, music is life!
Let's move forward, dear survivors, let's go upwards, together, with a clear heart, an open mind and a high head!
We are the Resistance!

My wife and I married in 1981, I was 21, she was 20. Every year I play this song for her. This March we will have been together for 38 years, and I will continue to play this for her until the day I die. I also play the Scorpion's "Still loving you". She will always be in my heart and soul.
@dianafavarin8741
Congratulation! I Love Bom Jovi too!😁

Words can't say what love can do...
@caseythompson474
MThrow that is the sweetest thing! Today is my 18th anniversary and like 11others my husband is deployed to the Middle East. Just trying to get through the day without missing him too much and listening to our songs. Life of an army wife! I’m sure your wife genuinely appreciates that you play this for her. Music often speaks the feelings we can’t quite put into words ourselves. I wish you many more years together!
@MThrow
@@rhfuh Indeed we did, Semper Fi.
@mrpianist9243
I swear, this is one of the most underrated love songs EVER!! The powerful vocals from Jon Bon Jovi, the guitar solo and backing vocals from Richie Sambora, etc. This song is just PERFECT. Definitely gonna play this on repeat especially on Valentine's Day.
@gizmoal01
This was my wife's and I, wedding dance song. Still gives me chills all these years later. 36 to be exact. Just as passionate now. As when we where listening to this as last teens
@Pophits68
This is a message for future generations, don't let music like this die.
