There For Me
Sarah Brightman(莎拉布萊曼) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There for me, every time I've been away
Will you be there for me, thinking of me ev'ry day
Are you my destiny, words I never dared to say
Will you be there for me?
Just think of you and me, we could never toe the line
It's such a mystery just to hear you say you're mine
Just hold me
[Josй Cura]
Se non sei con me, mi sembra grigia la citta
Camminando solo I piccoli vedo giocar
Volti e voci del passato che non ricordavo piu
Mi chiedono
[Both]
Are you still there for me?
Forse qualche giorno poi
Il mondo capira che non molto puo capitar
E tu ci sei per me senti cosa dicono
But you're just there for me
[Sarah Brightman]
And while you're close to me, so close to me
Just hold me
[Josй Cura]
Dimmi quanto tempo ancora resterai con me
Dimmi quante cose mi nascondi dentro te
Molti sogni abbiamo che alfin potremmo vivere
Io spero che
[Both]
You are still there for me?
Forse qualche giorno poi
Il mondo capira che non molto puo capitar
E tu ci sei per me senti cosa dicono
But you're just there for me
[Sarah Brightman]
There for me
[Josй Cura]
There for me
[Jacky Cheung]
Can't you hear the people say
That you're just there for me
[Sarah Brightman]
There for me
[Jacky Cheung]
When it's blowing cold and all the city streets are grey
Walking all along and watching how the children play
Voices on the wind and faces from the past all dancing by
They're asking why
[Jacky Cheung + sb]
Are you still there for me? Everytime I go away
Are you still there for me? Thinking of me everyday
Are you my destiny? Words I never dared to say
Are you still there for me?
[Jacky Cheung]
Can you really want me more than for a little while
What are all the stories hiding there behind your smile
Wishes in a dream and figures in a world that I could share
And everywhere
[Jacky Cheung + sb]
Will you be there for me
Will there ever come a day
When all the world can see
Things were meant to be that way
And you're still there for me
The song "There For Me" by Sarah Brightman is a beautiful duet with José Cura and Jacky Cheung that explores themes of love, destiny, and the uncertainty of the future. It begins with Brightman singing about someone who has been there for her every time she has been away and wonders if they will continue to be there for her. She then contemplates if this person could be her destiny, but she has never dared to say it out loud. Cura's verse is in Italian and describes how the city seems grey without Brightman and how memories of the past ask if she is still there for him. The chorus brings both singers together, wondering if they will be there for each other for the rest of their lives, and Jacky Cheung's verse adds another layer of uncertainty, asking if there will come a day when the world can acknowledge that they were meant to be together.
The song has a hauntingly beautiful melody that is heightened by the emotional performances of all three singers. It's a song that many can relate to, as it speaks to the fear of losing someone we love and the hope that they will remain there for us, no matter what happens in the future. It's an anthem of love that has stood the test of time and continues to be a favorite among fans of Brightman and her collaborators.

And everywhere
In every place
Will there ever come a day
Will there be a time
When all the world can see
When everyone can see
Things were meant to be that way
That we were meant to be together.
And you're still there for me
And through it all, you are still there for me.
