There Will Always Be a You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Like the stars that shine above
In a warm and wind-tossed love
Just like tears that fall forever
Like the raven and the dove
Looking for a perfect love
After rainy, stormy weather

[Chorus]
I am yours and you are mine
'Til the stars fall from my eyes
There will always be a you

[Verse 2]
A ship sailing without end
A lost, tired, worn down friend
And old broken run down shoe
I keep running back for more

[Chorus]
At least you thought I would for sure
But I gave up, I broke, it's true
Still, there will always be a you

[Bridge]
Don't ask me how
I've tried so long
And in, in my heart I know
I will never go away
If you wanted me to stay
Well, in a million years, I wouldn't go
[Refrain]
'Cause I love you so
Yes, I do
I love you so
I could never leave you

[Refrain]
I love you
Don't go away
Don't go away
There will always be a you

[Verse 2]
A ship sailing without end
A lost tired, run-down friend
An old broken worn out shoe
I keep running back for more

[Chorus]
At least you thought I would for sure
But I give up, I broke, it's true
Still, there will always be a you

I am yours and you are mine
'Til the stars fall from my eyes
There will always be a you
[Bridge]
I will never go away
If you wanted me to stay
Well, in a million years, I wouldn't go
'Cause I love you so
Yes, I do
I love you so
I could never leave you

[Refrain]
I love you
I love you
I won't go away
Can't go away
There will always be a you

[Outro]
At night I cry
Can't find a reason
I'm left alone
Can't seem to understand
At night I cry
Can't find a reason
I'm left alone
Can't seem to understand
There will always be a you
There will always be a you
There will always be a you
There will always be a you
There will always be a you

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
