Will You Be There?


Hello Baby,
It’s me again,
Wondering,
Thinking,
Always thinking,
When the lights are out,
And the moon peers her lovely head,
Into my window,
To see if I am sleeping…

You say I think too much,
And maybe I do,
But I only feel safe,
When I’m with you…

When you leave,
The doubts come,
And I wonder,
Where you have gone,
What you are thinking,
Has something gone wrong?

The night’s cool breeze,
Blows shadows on my wall,
And they take shapes,
As the moon falls,
I watch them dance,
And swing apart,
Take new partners,
And begin anew,
And I wonder baby,
Is one of them you?

Will you be there?
In the morning light-
Will I rise to find
You were but a dream,
A love that only exist at night?

How do I fight
These doubts in my mind,
Then when the tears began to fall,
I hear you call…

“I am here baby,
I have come at last-“
And I smile,
Forgetting the past,
Remembering I have a future now,
Something to keep a smile,
In my heart…

Will you be there tomorrow?
I hope so,
But now I realize,
I have you for today,
And that’s really all that matters,
Anyway…

Good range of emotions here. Love seems to be a very perplexing emotion and you capture its anxieties quite well.

There is nothing more true than your last verse. It hits so close to home, and I have learned that when all is said and done, living in the moment is all that matters.
