When you have no light to guide you
And no one to walk to walk beside you
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
I watch him attempt to make it out of the darkness that plagues him. I watch him struggling to keep it all under control. I know, just by looking at him, when he needs me to save him from the shadows that try to consume him. When he needs me, I'm there for him. I couldn't leave him in need of a friend.
When the night is dark and stormy
You won't have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
I wake in the middle of the night, from a nightmare and she is always there. No matter what, she will be at my side holding me close, smoothing my tangled curls away from my face and whispering soothing words into my ear. Once I relax a little, she'll remain at his side until I drift back to sleep and she is certain I'll be ok.
Sometimes when all your dreams may have seen better days
And you don't know how or why, but you've lost your way
Sometimes, he tells me about the goals he'd once had. How he'd wanted to achieve so much and where he went wrong. I try to keep him optimistic, but it's hard work especially when he's so down on himself. His problems overtook him on Monday night and he went down the wrong path for a while. He tells me that it will never happen again - and I want to believe him so much.
Have no fear when your tears are fallin'
I will hear your spirit callin'
And I swear I'll be there come what may
Maybe one day in future, we'll be miles apart and she won't be there for me when I need me. The idea of that scares me. But I honestly believe, no matter how far apart we are physically, when I need her, She'll know somehow. And no matter where I am, or what she's doing, she'll drop it all to be at my side.
When you have no light to guide you
And no one to walk to walk beside you
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
When the night is dark and stormy
You won't have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
He's so reluctant to accept my help but at the same time, he needs me so badly. What upsets me, is that he will never ask for my help. I have to reach out to him. No other woman would put up with some of the things he's put me through. I don't think there's many women who'd have the patience to deal with him.
'Cause even if we can't be together
We'll be friends now and forever
And I swear that I'll be there come what may
There are so many obstacles, so much working against us. Our friendship is barely tolerated; I can't imagine what they'd do if they knew the truth. We've discussed this, and while she often says I could easily find someone else, I don't want anyone but her.
When the night is dark and stormy
You won't have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
We all need somebody we can turn to
Someone who'll always understand
I'm always there for him. I always will be. I know that no other woman can give him the emotional security that I do. I'm not bragging, I'm stating a fact. Even though he's never told me as much, without me, he'd fall to pieces.
So if you feel that your soul is dyin'
And you need the strength to keep tryin'
I'll reach out and take your hand
Sometimes I feel like giving up completely. But she's invested so much effort in me that I feel guilty even considering it. She knows exactly what I need to keep going and when. Sometimes the darkness in my life threatens to take over. And that's when she reaches out to me and makes everything okay again.
