For so long I was looking
For a reason to make living worthwhile
I found that reason
When I first saw you smile
There was no question you were the answer
For a partner with no dancer or no song
You set my life to music
The day you came along

And there for awhile
All of my dreams came true
There for awhile
There was nothing I couldn't do
Yes, there for awhile
The future was finally clear
'Cause there for awhile
There for awhile, you were here

I guess I never asked you
Afraid of what the answer might be
Would you love me forever
Never wanting to be free?
I had no way of knowing
Just how soon you'd be going away
Would it have made a difference
If only I'd asked you to stay

Now I don't know
What my life could hold for me
'Cause I know that I had it all
When you were holding me

Yes, there for awhile
The future was finally clear
'Cause there for awhile
There for awhile, you were here

Yes, there for awhile
There for awhile, you were here
