Story behind the song
This is one of those songs that sort of wrote itself. I was driving to a gig when the melody came to me. By the time I got there, I pretty much had the first and second verses written. I finished it the next day. I live for such moments!
Lyrics
You can run away and hide
or travel far and wide
But you should know that where you go, you'll find me there right by your side
When I told you I'd be there
I meant forever everywhere
So don't despair. I'm there. For you, I'm there
Through every moment of the day
Every step along the way
I'm there to heed your every need, and help you rise above the fray
I am yours and you are mine
And here's the bottom line:
As long as I am breathing air, for you, I'm there
There is not a thing I wouldn't do for you
And it's clear to me you feel the way I do
As the years all fade away
and our hair is turning gray
Rest assured you have my word that by your side is where I'll stay
When I told you I'd be there, I meant forever everywhere
So don't despair. I'm there. For you, I'm there
As long as I am breathing air, I'm there
