I Will Be Here – Steven Curtis Chapman

Tomorrow mornin’ if you wake up
And the sun does not appear
I…I will be here

If in the dark we lose sight of love
Hold my hand and have no fear
‘Cause I…I will be here

I will be here…
When you feel like bein’ quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen
And I will be here
When the laughter turns to cryin’
Through the winnin’ and losin’ and tryin’
We’ll be together
‘Cause I will be here

Tomorrow mornin’ if you wake up
And the future is unclear
I…I’ll be here

Just as sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for years
I…I will be here

I will be here….
You can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells us we’re older
I will hold you

And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here

I will be true
To the promise I have made
To you and to the
One who gave you to me

I…I will be here

And just as sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for years
‘Cause I…
I will be here….
We’ll be together

‘Cause I will be here

Not sure if I sent you this song already, but I have it listed as a song I wanted to suggest to you. I like it a lot, a lot … I hope you like it too :-)

Thank you for writing this beautiful story of everlasting love. It will be sung at my wedding in 30 days. It says all the things I want to tell my husband.
We are 66 years old and after 40 years we have found each other again. It is a true love story. We were in love in 1960′s and we went separate ways but never again. This song conveys our love for one another and pulls on my heartstrings. I know it will be a meaningful part of our ceremony. Thank you for writing it..

Beautiful. I am trying to get the sheet music and performance tracks because I want to sing it at our ceremony.

We used the first half of this song as our wedding vows, we each read half a verse back and forth to each other. We also got our wedding rings engraved with “I will be here” which sums up our promises to each other. On the morning of our wedding my future husband gave me a small gift with a card that said “I will be there!”. Reading the rest of the song we want to read the second half to each other at our 10 year anniversary (still 8 years away tho!)
