If You Hadn’t Been There

If you hadn't been there, where would I be?

Without your trust, love, and belief

The ups and downs we've always shared

And I wouldn't be here if you hadn't been there

If you hadn't been you, well, who would I be?

You've always seen the best in me

Your loving arms have cradled me

You held me close, and I believe

I wouldn't be here if you hadn't been there

Holding my hand, showing you care

You made me dream more than I dared (ooh)

And I wouldn't be here if you hadn't been there

Oh, you are my rock (mm), a soft place to land

My wings, my confidence, you understand

Your willingness beyond compare

No, I wouldn't be here if you hadn't been there

I wouldn't be here if you hadn't been there

Pushing me on when I was scared (ooh)

I thank God and you (thank God and you), oh, for your loving care

And for giving me love with more to spare

You made me climb and top the stairs

I wouldn't be here, I wouldn't be here if you hadn't been there

Oh, I wouldn't be here if you hadn't been there

Mm
