Will you be there beside me

If the world falls apart

And will all of our moments

Remain in your heart

Will you be there to guide me

All the way through, I wonder will you

Walk by my side, and follow my dreams

And bear with my pride, as strong as it seems

Will you be there tomorrow

Will you be there beside me

As time goes on by

And be there to hold me

Whenever I cry

Will you be there to guide me

All the way through, I wonder will you

Walk by my side, and follow my dreams

And bear with my pride, as strong as it seems

Will you be there

Will you be there oh... oh... oh... oh...

Will you be there tomorrow
