Donna Fargo You Were Always There Lyrics

You Were Always There Lyrics

Can't remember my first mem'ry of you you were always there



And now I know I never knew you well



But I was just a kid and you were always there to pick me up everytime I
fell



And you always warmed a blanket to wrap around my feet



When you tucked me into bed to say my prayers



And I'll bet I never thanked you among all the other things



That I took for granted cause you were always there



Yes you were always there so we never took the time



For you to tell me your dreams and me to tell you mine



And we never took the time to talk of love and happiness



And life and death and heartache and pain and loneliness







Why I don't even know if you were happy or if you could have been



Or if you could have one wish what would it be



Or what would you do differently if you could live again



And were you glad that you gave life to me



And I'd give anything to tell you am I glad that you were born



But you'll never hear the words I've learned to say



Cause before I got to know you died of loneliness



And they tell me I grew up and moved away



Yes you were always there so we never took the time



For you to tell me your dreams and me to tell you mine



There were so many things that could have been but now we'll never share



Cause kids don't know much and you were always there



No kids don't know much and you were always there
