This is the life you saved, laid out before you
Everything that I think I have been and what I am now
Nothing can change the way I feel about you, no
Better we go on our separate ways
Nothing is left but the endless days
Nothing to cry but your nameDon't you look back, don't say a word
I will be lonely for you, I will be standing for you
Don't you despair, I will be there for you, I will be thereMaybe this time next year we'll be together
You can wipe away all of the tears, bring truth to the lies
There was a silent dream, we made a promise
We'd be there for each other forever
Aboard like a ship on an ocean's roar
Beating a path to your open door, nothing will keep me awayDon't you look back, don't say a word
I will be lonely for you, I will be standing for you
Don't you despair, I will be there for you, I will be thereEach night I pray to God above
You will be waiting for me, you will be lonely for me
Don't you despair, I will be there for you
I will be there, oh, I will be thereDon't you look back, don't say a word
I will be lonely for you, I will be standing for you
Don't you despair, I will be there for youFarewell to you, goodbye for me
I will be waiting for you, I will be lonely for you
Don't you despair, 'cause I will be there for you
Oh yeah, I will be there until the endOh I, I will be there until the end, hmm
Oh yeah, I will be there, hmm, I will be there
Oh, I will be there, I will be there
