The road is long and you can see no end
You feel alone and you need a friend
Your body aches and your spirit’s low
And your heart cries out ‘where is she now?’

And the world walks by It’s so cold out there
All you need right now is someone to care
You look around but she’s nowhere near
So you lift the phone and its then you hear ….

Chorus ( softly soothing )
I am here, I’ll always be beside you
Let my voice caress your weary heart    
I am here, I’m right there beside you
Let my love refresh your tired soul
And you’ll know that I am at your side dear
Even though these days we’re far apart
And you’ll feel our love deep down inside you
And it’s real, my love, my life, my heart
I am here

You’re stronger now for the road you tread
The journey’s end is just ahead
Though there’s still some way till you reach the end
Your heart knows that you have a friend

One more climb and you’re almost there
You can feel her now as you breathe the air
With each step you take you’re no more alone
And you know you’ll hear when you lift the phone …

Chorus ( stronger )
I am here, I’ll always be beside you
Let my voice caress your weary heart
I am here, I’m right there beside you
Let my love refresh your tired soul
And you’ll know that I am at your side dear
Even though these days we’re far apart
And you’ll feel our love deep down inside you
And it’s real, my love, my life, my heart
I am here

(change key)

The sun is out and the world is bright
The end of the road is in your sight
One more step and you’ll see her face
The last step to her warm embrace

Chorus (celebration)
I am here, I’ll always be beside you
Let my voice caress your weary heart
I am here, I’m right here beside you
Let my love refresh your tired soul
And you know that I am at your side, At last
You’re home, no longer far apart
And you feel our love deep down inside you
Yes it’s real, my love, my life, my heart
I am here
