Here For You

Chris De Burgh


I don't know where the time has gone, suddenly here we are alone
Only a word before you go, everyone's waiting
So many friends to say goodbye, so many tears they'll have to cry
So many wings to help you fly where you are going

And now a plane must take away my child that life has found
And you will be up in the sky, and I'll be on the ground
Sending my love with you tonight

I will be waiting, I will be waiting, here for you, here for you

I don't know where the years have gone
Suddenly here, and you have grown
It was like only yesterday when you were so young
But here is the day we had to see, always the same eternally
This is the way that it must be, now it is your world

And so a plane must take away my child that time has found
And you will be up in the sky, and I'll be on the ground
Sending my dreams with you tonight

I will be waiting, I'm trying not to show
But seeing you go, is the hardest thing that I have known

I will be waiting, don't worry 'bout me, I'll be alright
I will be waiting, don't worry 'bout me, I'll be alright
Here for you, here for you

I don't know where the years have gone
