You need a love that will not change

You want a lover to remain

Forever yours

Oh, but you don't have to worry

You never have to fear it

Through thick and thin i'll always be here



I'll be your bridge

Over and through troubled waters

You'll never have to face it alone

And when the world

Seems to treat you unfair

Baby, for you, i'll always be there



I won't be no fairweather friend

I'll be there 'til the end

Even through stormy weather

Time and time again

I won't be no fairweather friend

I'll be there 'til the end

Even through stormy weather

Time and time again



Sometimes i know it's wrong for you

And then there are times you're feeling blue

Feel so much pain

Oh, but i'm the kind of person

That can take the hurt away

You never have to suffer again



I'll be your strength

To carry you over the mountain

To lift you up when you're falling down

Baby be strong

You can believe in me

'cause i'm your friend

And i'll always, always, always be right there



Hook



Oh baby, for you, i'll always be there, oh



Hook



Baby i know what's right for you

Maybe sometimes you're feeling blue

But i won't let ya, won't let ya

You're never gonna face no pain again



I'm gonna be there to lift you up

Baby call my name

And i'll be there
