Lyrics:

Wherever you go, wherever you may wander in your life,
Surely you know, I always want to be there, Holding your hand, and standing by to catch you when you fall, Seeing you through, in everything you do Chorus: Let me be there in your morning, let me be there in your night. Let me change whatever's, wrong and make it right. Let me take you through that wonderland that only two can share. All I ask you is let me be there. Watching you grow and going through the changes in your life, That's how I know, I'll always wanna be there. Whenever you feel you need a friend to lean on, here I am. Whenever you call you know I'll be there. |
