I’m There

A little bird dropped by to tell me
That you were back in town
And to save my lonely soul from bleeding
I’d need to change my foolish ways
And be the man you’ve needed around
So I went out to find you
with my heart in my hand
And the pride I had to swallow
Was almost more that I could stand
And I said
I’ve prayed that I’d be holding you tonight
Somehow, someway I’ve got to make it right
To show you that I care
And give my life a dare
For me
Yeah, and you
Well, baby I’m there
Yeah, I’m there
Well fate would have it I found you
At a place that I know well
Sitting on the riverbank in sun, throwing rocks in the water
And wondering if your life had yet begun
So I walked on over and sat down, and tossed a few rocks too
And as it turned out, you needed a little soul to soul talk, too
And you said,
I’ve prayed that I’d be holding you tonight
Somehow, someway I’ve got to make it right
To show you that I care
And give my life a dare
For me
Yeah, and you
Well, baby I’m there
Yeah, I’m there
This life is short and we may never get another chance
To dance this dance
So put your arms around me baby
And together we’ll make a plan
I’ve prayed that I’d be holding you tonight
Somehow, someway I’ve got to make it right
To show you that I care
And give my life a dare
For me
Yeah, and you
Well, baby I’m there
Yeah, I’m there
