I just wanna be there lyrics

Now when the storm of life is rushing in on you

And all hope is gone

And you feel the pain and misery of

Being left all alone

After you've tried so hard and your life

Is standing still

And you think you just don't have the

Strength to climb another hill

Oh, I just wanna be there

I just wanna be there

Just to hold you close

Said I wanna be there

I just wanna be there

'Cause I love you most

When you need a little understanding from

Your so-called friends

And you find the road you're travelling down is

Coming do a dead-end

When suddenly you find yourself lost and

Stumbling through the night

Now let me be the hand in the dark that's leading

You to the light

Oh, I just wanna be there

I just wanna be there

Just to hold you close

Said I wanna be there

I just wanna be there

'Cause I love you most

Ooh, ooh, I wanna be there

Baby, baby, baby, baby, I wanna be there, yeah

Wanna be there

Said I wanna be there

I just wanna be there

'Cause I love you most

Promise not to ever try to change you

I love you for yourself

No matter what you choose to be your fate

Now let me be your helpmate

Let me be the main source of power that

Makes your wheels turn

And let me be the wood in the furnace to make

Your fire burn

Yeah, I just wanna be there

Just to hold you close

Said I wanna be there

'Cause I love you most

Ooh, hey, I wanna be there

Said I wanna be there

'Cause I love you most

Said I wanna be, wanna be, wanna be there, yeah

'Cause I love you most
