I'll Be There

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You leave your blue mug by the kitchen sink Keys in the bowl, your coat on the chair I know the little pause before you speak And how you tuck your loose hair behind your ear [Pre-Chorus] When the week comes down like heavy weather Take my hand, we’ll face it together [Chorus] I’ll be there when the good news finds you When the hard days pull you under I’ll be the door you can come back through The steady voice beneath the thunder You don’t have to carry every fear You don’t have to make it disappear Wherever this life takes us, my dear I’ll be there, I’ll be there [Verse 2] We’ll miss the train and laugh beside the track Split the last peach on the balcony If you lose your way, I’ll call you back No perfect map, just you and me [Pre-Chorus] When the room feels small and the night runs longer Lean on me, we’ll both grow stronger [Chorus] I’ll be there when the good news finds you When the hard days pull you under I’ll be the door you can come back through The steady voice beneath the thunder You don’t have to carry every fear You don’t have to make it disappear Wherever this life takes us, my dear I’ll be there, I’ll be there [Bridge] If your hands start shaking at the edge of change If the old plans scatter and rearrange I won’t promise roses every day But I’ll stay close, I’ll learn the way [Final Chorus] I’ll be there when the good news finds you When the hard days pull you under I’ll be the door you can come back through The steady voice beneath the thunder You can bring your whole heart here Every bright hope, every honest tear Wherever this life takes us, my dear I’ll be there, I’ll be there I’ll be there, I’ll be there [Outro] Your blue mug waiting by the kitchen sink And my hand reaching for yours before you think
