You Were There

Time passes, the world changes
I'm still the same old kid
And your jokes still bring me laughter
As if you still were here

And it hurts when I smile
'Cause my heart still remembers
When you were around

'Cause you were there
When no one was
Just when I thought nobody cared
You showed me love

'Cause you were my friend
You always told me
And I am still here
Because you were there

So precious, small treasures
A time when truth was innocent
True friendship was all we were after
A place where kids could still be kids

And it hurts but I'm glad
'Cause at least I was blessed
To have you as my friend

'Cause you were there
When no one was
Just when I thought nobody cared
You showed me love

'Cause you were my friend
You always told me
And I am still here
Because you were there

You're my best friend, yes, there are no accidents
God has a plan for everyone
And He brought you in my life
To show me what a good friendship was

'Cause you were there
When no one was
Just when I thought nobody cared
You showed me love

'Cause you were my friend
You always told me
And I am still here
Because you were there

You were there
You were there
You were there

Because you were there
Because you were there
Because you were there
