Here For You — Chris De Burgh

Written by 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.....
