  • Anywhere you are
    I am near
    Anywhere you go
    I'll be there
    Anytime you whisper my name
    You'll see
    Every single promise I'll keep
    'Cause what kind of guy
    Would I be
    If I was to leave
    When you need me most

    What are words if you really
    Don't mean them when you say them
    What are words if they're only
    For good times then that's all
    When it's love ya you say them
    Out loud these words
    They never go away
    They live on
    Even when we're gone

    And I know an angel was sent
    Just for me and I know I'm meant
    To be where I am and I'm gonna be
    Standing right beside her tonight
    And I'm gonna be by your side
    I would never leave when she needs me most

    What are words if you really
    Don't mean them when you say them
    What are words if they're only
    For good times then that's all
    When it's love ya you say them
    Out loud these words
    They never go away
    They live on
    Even when we're gone

    Anywhere you are
    I am near
    Anywhere you go
    I'll be there
    And I'm gonna be here forever more
    Every single promise I'll keep
    'Cause what kind of guy would I be
    If I was to leave
    When you need me most
    I'm forever keeping my angel close Writer/s: Andre Lindal, Lauren Christy, Rodney Jerkins
