[Intro] [spoken] This is a love song written to you, my darling... the one who walked away from me. [melodic humming starts, mimicking a folk flute melody] [Verse 1] In the deep and rolling pastures, I saw your face and knew my place. I fell for you right then and there, In that wild and quiet space. I asked you for your hand in marriage, I bared my soul and spoke my due, But you didn't feel the spark I carried, And you didn't feel the way I do. [Chorus] But I can promise I’ll be there for you, I’ll be the hand to catch you when you fall. I’ll be the shadow when you flee the view, I’ll be the one to hear your every call. I’ll walk you through the meadow up the hill, I’ll be there for the tears you have to cry. When life begins to test your iron will, And when the world begins to let you try. I’ll be there to pat your aching head, To comfort you and keep your spirit true. With all the words that went unsaid, I’ll be there just for you. [Verse 2] I walked away so sad and lonely, But I refused to give up hope. I thought I’d be your one and only, And find a way for us to cope. But then the day my courage failed me, When I saw you take another’s hand. A bitter coldness then assailed me, But there’s a truth you must understand. [Chorus] I’ll be there for the tears you have to cry, I’ll be there for whatever you may want. When heavy trials beneath a darkening sky, Begin to follow and begin to haunt. I’ll be there for whatever you might need, Whatever weight the heavy seasons throw. Through every word and every quiet deed, I’ll be the light that helps you grow. I’ll be there to cheer your spirit up, I’ll be there, I’ll be there, just for you. [Outro] [vocal intensity increases] I’ll be there for whatever life tries, I’ll be there for whatever you need. Through the trials and the fading skies, I’ll be the soil, I’ll be the seed. I’ll be there for you and only you. [melodic humming melody repeats] (Ah-oh, ah-oh, ah-oh) [spoken] Just remember, I’m there for you, babe. I’ll never forget you. Remember, songs are just lyrics, but my heart is real. #Love #acoustic #Soft
