I’ll Be There lyrics
by Quincy Jones
[Verse 1]
I can see it when you're sleeping
Girl, you seem so far away
And my arms can try to keep you
But my heart knows it's too late
So if you need your freedom more
I won't stand in your way
But if it's not what you're looking for
My heart's a beat away
[Chorus]
I'll be there
When you need my arms around you
If it all goes wrong
I'll be there
And when loneliness surrounds you
No matter where
Oh, you know that I'll be there
[Verse 2]
I remember all the laughter
As we go our separate ways
But there's so much we're still learning
And we just can't be afraid
There's a world outside our door
And nothing's in our way
But if it's not what we're looking for
We'll meet again someday
[Chorus]
I'll be there
When you need my arms around you
If it all goes wrong
I'll be there
And when loneliness surrounds you
There's so much to share
And you know that I'll be there
Whoa
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I'll be there
When you need my arms around you
If it all goes wrong
I'll be there
And when loneliness surrounds you
No matter where
Girl, you know that I'll be there
