You were there

Written by Eric Clapton

 

We made the distance,

Yeah, we made the day.

You made all the difference

'Cause you found the way.

Without your wisdom

Lord, where would we be

Lost in the wilderness,

Somewhere out at sea.

But you were there

Through the days of wine and madness,

When I'd always put you down.

You were there

Through my joys and my sadness

And you never let me down.

You found the meaning

And helped me to see

Where I was going to

All that I could be.

Without permission

You turned the key.

You climbed the prison wall

Deep inside of me.

You were there

Through the days of wine and madness

When I'd turn and put, put you down.

You were there

Through my joys and my sadness

And you never let me down.

You were there

Through the days of wine and madness

When I'd turn and put, put you down.

You were there

Through my joys and my sadness

And you never let me down. Let me down.

You were there.
