You and I must make a pact, we must bring salvation back
Where there is love, I'll be there (I'll be there)
I'll reach out my hand to you, I'll have faith in all you do
Just call my name and I'll be there (I'll be there)

And oh - I'll be there to comfort you
Build my world of dreams around you, I'm so glad that I found you
I'll be there with a love that's strong
I'll be your strength, I'll keep holdin' on (holdin' on) (yes I will) yes I will

Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter
Togetherness, well that's all I'm after
Whenever you need me, I'll be there (I'll be there)
I'll be there to protect you (yeah, baby) with an unselfish love I respect you
Just call my name and I'll be there (I'll be there)

And oh, I'll be there to comfort you
Build my world of dreams around you, I'm so glad that I found you
I'll be there with a love that's strong
I'll be your strength, I'll keep holdin' on
Ooh, ooh, ooh (holdin' on, holdin' on) yes I will

If you should ever find someone new
I know he'd better be good to you
'cause if he doesn't, I'll be there (I'll be there)

Don't you know, baby, yeah yeah
I'll be there, I'll be there (just call my name, I'll be there) I'll be there

(Just look over your shoulders, honey, ooh)

I'll be there, I'll be there, whenever you need me (I'll be there) I'll be there

Don't you know, baby, yeah yeah
I'll be there, I'll be there, (just call my name, I'll be there) I'll be there

FADE
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I'll be there, I'll be there
