Here For You Lyrics

Written by Chris de Burgh

  D                 G             A           D                      G          A      D
I don't know where the time has gone, suddenly here we are alone,
          G         A           D                                  A     
Only a word before you go, everyone's waiting;
  D             G         A         D                      G                  A         D
So many friends to say goodbye, so many tears they'll have to cry,
               G         A           D                                      A     
So many wings to help you fly where you are going;

       D          G                 D     G          D             G                A
And now a plane must take away my child that life has found,
        D          G        D     G             G             A
And you will be up in the sky, and I'll be on the ground,
                   G               A    D
Sending my love with you tonight;


D G x3               D       A 
I             will be waiting,    
D G x3               D        A
I              will be waiting, 
              G   A                    D
here for you,        here for you;


I don't know where the years have gone,
Suddenly here, and you have grown,
It was like only yesterday when you were so young;
But here is the day we had to see, always the same eternally,
This is the way that it must be, now it is your world;

And so a plane must take away my child that time has found,
And you will be up in the sky, and I'll be on the ground,
Sending my dreams with you tonight;

I will be waiting..... I'm trying not to show,
But seeing you go, is the hardest thing that I have known;

I will be waiting, don't worry 'bout me, I'll be alright *
I will be waiting, don't worry 'bout me, I'll be alright,
Here for you, here for you,

I don't know where the years have gone.....
