YOU WERE THERE
For Melba
1) Years ago in memories past,
Time stood still, our youth would last forever.
You were there.
Holding hands in tender romance,
‘cross the room a stolen glance of love.
You were there.
Dreams were big, hope was bright;
You and I were right ‘cause you were there,
You were there.
2) Life was hard, life was good;
Trusting God our dreams would last forever;
He was there.
Heaven blessed us from on high,
Showed us that we could rely on His love;
He was there.
Through the fire, through the flame,
Hearts were touched through faith upon His name;
He was there.
3) Now we’re old, our hair is gray;
My love for you is here to stay forever.
I’ll be there.
Up the hill, down rocky road,
I’ll lift you up, I’ll take your load, I love you.
I’ll be there.
Friends we were and friends forever,
In your need I’ll come and I’ll be there.
Yes, I’ll be there. I will be there.
