You Were There

written by Babyface (1998)



Time passes, the world changes

But I'm still the same ole' kid

And your jokes still bring me laughter

As if you still were here

And it hurts

When I smile

'Cause my heart still remembers

When you were around



'Cause you were there

When no one was

Just when I thought nobody cared

You showed me love

'Cause you were my friend

You always told me

And I am still here

Because you were there



So precious, small treasures

A time when truth was innocent

True friendship, was all we were after

A place where kids could still be kids

And it hurts

But I'm glad

'Cause at least I was blessed

To have you as my friend



HOOK



You're my best friend

There are no accidents

God has a plan for everyone

And he brought you in my life

To show me what a good friendship was



HOOK
