I held a picture, your hand in mine We were walking on a hillside off to fly kites It was almost a memory, almost a truth Except you didn't know me and I hadn't met you I'm staying on forever I swear So you know I'll always be there I promise to hold you however scared So you know I'll always be there Now you're inside her, barely a given Holding a lifeline, beating a rhythm You're floating somewhere in outer space Swimming in the jet stream, surrendered in grace I'm staying on forever I swear So you know I'll always be there I promise to hold you however scared So you know I'll always be there Oh so you know I'll always be there I saw it all so clearly As if it's all been said and done I'm barely breathing but I'm bursting inside Waiting on someone like you to arrive I'm staying on forever I swear So you know I'll always be there I promise to hold you however scared So you know I'll always be there Always be there Always be there Forever I swear always be there I promise to hold you however scared So you know I'll always be there Oh so you know I'll always be there Oh so you know I'll always be there Don't you worry I will always be there
