When You Reach for Me

V6

[Verse 1] I may not always find the perfect words For everything I feel inside But after all these years beside you There’s one thing I could never hide I’ve watched the seasons change around us I’ve watched the years leave their mark And every road that brought us here Still leads me back into your arms [Pre-Chorus] So when the world gets heavy And you need somewhere to fall You don’t have to wonder If I’ll be there at all [Chorus] When you reach for me I’ll reach right back for you When your strength is gone I’ll help you make it through When the night comes down And you can’t see what’s ahead Lay your worries next to mine And rest your weary head I can’t promise life won’t change Or time won’t leave its scars But as long as I have breath in me You won’t face this world alone When you reach for me You’ll find me reaching home [Verse 2] You knew the man behind the silence You saw the things I couldn’t say You stayed when I was hard to hold And loved me anyway There were times I know I failed you Times I wasn’t what you needed me to be But you never stopped believing There was still a better man in me [Pre-Chorus] And if I haven’t told you lately What these years have made me see Of all the gifts that God has given You’re the one He gave to me [Chorus] When you reach for me I’ll reach right back for you When your strength is gone I’ll help you make it through When the night comes down And you can’t see what’s ahead Lay your worries next to mine And rest your weary head I can’t promise life won’t change Or time won’t leave its scars But as long as I have breath in me You won’t face this world alone When you reach for me You’ll find me reaching home [Bridge] Someday these hands will tremble Someday our steps will slow We’ll look back on a lifetime Only you and I could know And if my voice grows weaker I’ll still find a way to say I’d choose you all over again And I’d still choose you that day [Final Chorus] So when you reach for me I’ll reach right back for you After everything we’ve weathered That’s what love is meant to do When the evening comes On all the years we’ve known I’ll still be right beside you You will never stand alone I can’t promise life won’t change But one promise still remains For every morning God allows me I’ll keep choosing you again When you reach for me You’ll find these open arms And when you reach for me You’ll always find my heart [Outro] After all these years After all we’ve been through I’d still choose you.
