If an old friend lets you down
And a true love can't be found
Till the blue skies come around
I'll be right by your side

Journey far and travel safe
Make this world a better place
And keep that smile upon your face
I'll be right by your side

There may be oceans in between us now
But I think about you every minute now
No, don't forget me now that we're apart
Just open up that great big loving heart

And you'll always be
You'll always be
You'll always be a part of me

Take your time to embrace romance
Teach your children how to sing and dance
Love may hurt but it's worth the chance
I'll be right by your side

Try to be the best you can
Shore come crashing to every man
And always take the higher ground
I'll be right by your side
I hear your laughter echo through this house
I miss all of this there is no doubt
I wasn't perfect this I would admit
I was always tryin' to make the pieces fit

And you'll always be
You'll always be
You'll always be a part of me

Don't ask me now the time has gone
I've loved you since the minute you were born
So many times we have laughed and cried
I see you now it fills my heart with pride

You'll always be
You'll always be
You'll always be a part of me
