I Was There
I was there
When you first were born into this world
I was there
When you had your first tear
I was there
For your first step
I was there
For your first break up
I was there
Watching
Though I know
It seems impossible
Does that really matter
I was there
Loving you
Before I saw you
Before I knew you
Before I hugged you
Before we cuddled
I was there
Loving you, watching you
Wishing I’d always be there for you
I was there
When you first danced
I was there
When you had first written a poem
I was there
When you had your first kiss
I was there
When you first saw me
I was there
Watching
Though I know
It seems impossible
None of it really matters
Please let it fade away
Indulge in the magic
Live in the now
So just be happy with me
Cause I’m all you’ve got
And when you go away
And move on from me
Don’t worry
I’ll be there
Watching you, loving you
I was there
When you met the love of your life
I was there
When you got married at the beach
I was there
When you had your four kids
I was there
When you grew old and retired
I was there
Watching you, loving you
From far away
Don’t be afraid
To grow apart, away
Everything has its place
I loved you today
And I’ll love you always
