  • If you hadn't been there
    Where would I be?
    Without your trust
    Love and belief
    The ups and downs
    We've always shared
    And I wouldn't be here
    If you hadn't been there

    If you hadn't been you
    Well, who would I be?
    You've always seen
    The best in me
    Your loving arms
    Have cradled me
    You held me close
    And I believe

    I wouldn't be here
    If you hadn't been there
    Holding my hand
    Showing you care
    You made me dream
    More than I dared
    And I wouldn't be here
    If you hadn't been there

    Oh, you are my rock (mm-mm)
    A soft place to land
    My wings, my confidence
    You understand
    Your willingness
    Beyond compare
    No, I wouldn't be here
    If you hadn't been there

    I wouldn't be here
    If you hadn't been there
    Pushing me on
    When I was scared
    I thank God and you (thank God and you)
    Oh, for your loving care
    And for giving me love
    With more to spare
    You made me climb
    And top the stairs
    I wouldn't be here
    I wouldn't be here
    If you hadn't been there

    Oh, I wouldn't be here
    If you hadn't been there
