Lyrics by Steven R. Drennon, ©️ 1990 - 2024 https://youtu.be/4uL6qBhrP6U [Verse 1] As she sits alone, she picks up the phone And dials his number again. He picks up the line, and says he is fine, Then asks her how long it has been. They talk for a while, and he makes her smile, But then of course, she knew he would, For he had a way; he knew what to say To comfort her like no one could. She feels warm inside. The phone helps her hide The pain he detects, but can’t see. But she starts to cry as she asks him, “Why Have you always been there for me?” [Chorus] Why are you always there to pick me up Each time I feel the need to call? Why are you always there to dust me off Each time that I’ve taken a fall? Why are you always there to make me smile With almost no effort at all? Why are you always there to pick me up Each time that I’ve taken a fall?” [Verse 2] It’s quiet at first. She’s thinking the worst, Believing it’s just sympathy. But then he replies, and tears fill her eyes As he answers her honestly. “I can’t help but do the best things for you, For you make me feel like a man Who’s needed so much, and somehow you touch Me like no other woman can. You’ve captured my heart, and I’d like to start Out being much more than your friend. So come to me now, and I’ll show you how To make all your loneliness end. [Chorus] That’s why I’m always there to pick you up Each time you feel the need to call. That’s why I’m always there to dust you off Each time that you’ve taken a fall. That’s why I’m always there to make you smile With almost no effort at all. That’s why I’m always there to pick you up Each time that you’ve taken a fall.
