When She Leaves You

When she leaves you, I'll be there.
I'll be there to sing you lullabies
When the darkness closes in.
I'll be there to hold your hand
When the sadness seems to win.
I'll be there to kiss away your tears
As they glide across your skin.
I'll be there to make you laugh
When the sorrow settles within.

When she leaves you, I'll be there.
I'll be there to whisper in your ear,
I need you like I need the sun.
I'll be there to say,
Without a doubt, you are the one.
I'll be there to gather you close
When your sanity comes undone.

I'll be there to show you love
When she leaves without saying goodbye.
I'll be there to give you my heart
When your own wants to die inside.

When she leaves you, I'll be there.
I'll be there beside you always,
In good times and in bad.
I'll be there when all seems hopeless,
And you can't help but feel forever sad.

When she leaves you, I'll be there.
It doesn't matter where,
I'll be there, despite the rain,
I'll be there, to take away your pain.
I'll be there, to give you all I've got,
My heart, my soul, on the spot.

When she leaves you, I'll be there.
Without hesitation, I'll be there.
Just call my name, and I'll appear.
Forever and always, holding you near.
You have my heart, you have my vow.
I'll be with you an eternity from now.
