I'll Be There
Sarah Geronimo Feat. Howie Dorough Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the song you try to sing
doesn't seem to mean a thing
You want to find and fit the words
and the melody together

When you try so hard to smile
and tears are falling down your eyes
you want to shout out to the world
and things are getting bad

Chorus:
I'll be here
I know it isn't much
I'll be here
to help you make things right
I'll be here
when hope is almost over
when things go wrong
cause sometimes they do
I'll be here for you

When you're scared of growing old
and you need a hand to hold
I'll give you mine
we can grow old together
when the going is the pain
and you star to lose your wing
you feeling tired and feeling wrong
and things are getting bad

Chorus 2:
I'll Be here
you can cry on my shoulder
I'll be here
to help you see things through
I'll be here
when there's no one else to turn to
when things go wrong
cause sometimes they do
I'll be here for you

Bridge:
When you start to love your patience
and you start to feel the emptiness




I'll be Here
(Repeat Chorus 1)
