about

"We consider this song one of Jay's best efforts. Nick got the idea of putting an organ in it and totally changed the flavor of the tune, making it all that much more powerful. I wrote the backing vocal part and Nick and I did them together. I also suggested to Jay to add the word "Then" at the end since it was originally titled I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU which was a song I didn't want anyone to mistake by The Rembrandts of "Friends" fame." --Wayde K. Brown

lyrics

LOOKING OUTSIDE AT A RAINY DAY,
I FEEL THE COLD AND THE WINTER INSIDE.
SEE THE LINES OF YOUR FACE IN THE WINDOW PANE,
THEY BRING BACK THE SUN AND MAKE ME ALIVE.

AND I WANT TO HEAR ALL THAT YOU’VE GOT TO SAY.
I WANNA BE THERE IN THE QUIET TIMES.
IN ADVANCE OR RETREAT, WHETHER WIN OR LOSE,
I WANNA BE THERE, BE A PART OF YOUR LIFE.

I’LL BE THERE FOR YOU THEN, WALKING BESIDE YOU,
THROUGH THE LAUGHTER AND THE TEARS.
I’LL BE THERE FOR YOU THEN, I’LL BE BY YOUR SIDE.
AND I’LL CHERISH COMPLETELY ALL THE LITTLE THINGS
THAT IS SO UNIQUELY YOU. DON’T YOU DOUBT THAT IT’S TRUE!

IF I HAD BEEN THERE IN YOUR YESTERDAY,
I’D HAVE LABORED IN LOVE, GLADLY TOWING THE LINE.
YET NOW THERE’S TODAY AND THE YEARS TO COME,
NO, I HAVE NO REGRETS; THIS IS FOR A LIFETIME.

I’LL BE THERE FOR YOU THEN, WALKING BESIDE YOU,
THROUGH THE DAYS AND THROUGH THE YEARS.
I’LL BE THERE FOR YOU THEN, I’LL BE BY YOUR SIDE.
I’LL BE THERE IF YOU NEED ME, HELP WITH ANYTHING,
HELP TO MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. I’LL BE THERE FOR YOU.

HOW CAN A MAN IN A WORLD SO COLD
REDEEM ALL HIS DAYS AND ENJOY GROWING OLD?
I’LL GREET THE SUN, A SONG IN MY HEART,
BECAUSE OF YOUR LOVE RESTORING MY SOUL.

I’LL BE THERE FOR YOU THEN, WALKING BESIDE YOU,
THROUGH THE DAYS AND THROUGH THE YEARS.
I’LL BE THERE FOR YOU THEN, I’LL BE BY YOUR SIDE.
I’LL BE THERE IF YOU NEED ME, HELP WITH ANYTHING,
HELP TO MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. I’LL BE THERE FOR YOU.

The Santairs Auburn, Washington

I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
