Song Description

Nothing says love like choosing to be there for another person. Love is a choice. Being there is a beautiful choice.

Lyrics

VERSE 1:
I read the love on your angry face
As he walked out the door of your life
A father?s promise was broken apart
Like your ten year old heart left behind
I held the pieces and prayed as you cried
That you?d hear the words that I whispered that night

CHORUS:
I?ll be there
I?ll be the arms that will not let go
I?ll be the love you believe
I?ll be there.

VERSE 2:
I saw the teardrops that never fell
As you took your diploma in hand
Eight years of countless excuses from him
Couldn?t keep you from hoping he?d be there
And as you went off to school in the fall
I held you close and I promised once more

CHORUS:
I?ll be there
I?ll be the arms that will not let go
I?ll be the love you believe
I?ll be there.

BRIDGE:
When disappointment becomes a bitter friend
Don?t give up; don?t give in; I will be there tomorrow
And when you long for the love he never gave
May the words that I lived give you strength for every day (to chorus)

VERSE 3:
I felt the numbness that held you tight
As you looked on his face one last time
And all the years of discouragement
Were now sealed with tears of good-bye
You pulled your children and wife to your side
And I wept with pride as you promised that night (to chorus)
