Close your eyes
Don't you know
you're not alone

I'll be right here
beside you


Take your time
There's no rush
to growing old

Just put all your fears
behind you


And I won't say
It'll be easy
And I won't say

you won't cry

Chorus:


There'll be times when
you'll be waiting for me

Cold and tired
and lost and lonely
You know I'll

always be here

And you know that

I'll be waiting for you
I will be the one
to show you

Can't see it
In my eyes
That I will

Be right by
your side


***Instrumental***

Sweet sixteen

Still so much
for you to know
Seems like yesterday

I held you

In my dreams

I still see you
as a child
With a world

to understand

And when you're

asking them "Why?"
I'll still be here
when you cry


Chorus:


There'll be times
When you'll be
Waiting for me

Cold and tired
And lost and lonely
You know

I'll always be here

And you know that

I'll be waiting for you
I will be
the one to show you

See it In my eyes
That I will be
right by your side

The faster that you grow
The time will come to go
The only thing I know

Is you'll be alright

You'll be alright

Chorus:


There'll be times
when you'll be waiting for me
Cold and tired
and lost and lonely

You know
I'll always be here

And you know that
I'll be waiting for you

I will be the one
to show you
See it in my eyes
Can't you see it
In my eyes?


That I will

Be right by

Your side
