I'll be there
Weekend Players Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On a rainy day
Troubled and lost your way
With things going wrong
And the day is long

Or when you take a wrong turn
Get your fingers burned
And when your losin' ground
Lost the day and don't know what to do

I'll be there for you
I'll be, be there
I'll be there for you
I'll be, be there

Teeterin' on the brink
Like your poor heart could sink
When you labor in vain
Losin' the game

When worry drags you down
Wear a weary frown
When your feelin' blue
When your worst nightmare comes true

I'll be there for you
I'll be, be there
I'll be there for you
I'll be, be there

I'll be there for you
I'll be, be there

When an ill wind blows
And all hope goes
And only heaven knows
Which way to go

To share the heavy load
Down the long and winding road
When the sky falls in
And you don't know where ya been or goin' to

I'll be there for you
I'll be, be there
I'll be there for you
I'll be, be there

When your l-I-e's
Down on your knees
Drownin' your sorrows
Dreadin' bout tomorrow

When you feel like your fallin'
Been ragged and run down
Fall and pray to things you didn't know too
Fall and pray to

I'll be there for you
I'll be, be there
I'll be there for you
I'll be, be there

I'll be there for you
I'll be, be there
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you

Be there




I'll be there for you
Be there

Get your fingers burned
And when your losin' ground
Lost the day and don't know what to do

I'll be there for you
I'll be, be there
I'll be there for you
I'll be, be there

Teeterin' on the brink
Like your poor heart could sink
When you labor in vain
Losin' the game

When worry drags you down
Wear a weary frown
When your feelin' blue
When your worst nightmare comes true

I wrote this song in 2000. There is a second album. It just didn't get released. Long story. Thank you for loving the track. It has reached so many people in so many ways. I wrote it for a friend who was terminally ill, but mainly for the woman who saw him through. Big love to all of you out there. Stay strong

Mary Lynne A

Prayers for you Rachel, you are a sensitive, talented soul like my daughter. I’ve loved this album for 20 years? Anyway, I’m glad you didn’t go the game route and lose your soul. God bless and keep you
