[Verse 1]
This is the life you saved, laid out before you
Everything that I think I have been and what I am now
Nothing can change the way I feel about you, no

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Better we go on our separate ways
Nothing is left but the endless days
Nothing to cry but your name

[Chorus 1]
Don't you look back, don't say a word
I will be lonely for you, I will be standing for you
Don't you despair, I will be there for you, I will be there

[Verse 2]
Maybe this time next year we'll be together
You can wipe away all of the tears, bring truth to the lies
There was a silent dream, we made a promise
We'd be there for each other forever

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Aboard like a ship on an ocean's roar
Beating a path to your open door
Nothing will keep me away
[Chorus 2]
Don't you look back, don't say a word
I will be lonely for you, I will be standing for you
Don't you despair, I will be there for you
Each night I pray to God above
You will be waiting for me, you will be lonely for me
Don't you despair, I will be there for you

[Post-Chorus]
I will be there, oh, I will be there

[Chorus 3]
Don't you look back, don't say a word
I will be lonely for you, I will be standing for you
Don't you despair, I will be there for you
Farewell to you, goodbye for me
Don't you despair 'cause I will be there for you

[Outro]
Oh I, I will be there until the end, hmm
Oh yeah, I will be there, hmm, I will be there
Oh, I will be there, I will be there
