Preparation - that's why the separation, that's why you've been away from me,
I just cannot forget you; my heart is marked by you,
The last thing that you said: "You'll be there with me."

Friends stick together, and that's forever,
That's why I want to...

Be there with you,
I want to be there with you,
I just want to be there with you all of my life,
I just want to be there with you,
I want to be there with you,
I just want to be there with you all of my life, oh.

Tell me, are the grass much greener there?
Is there a garden too?
What kind of house have you prepared?
Do we live close to the ocean?
Is there a place for us, where we can sit and talk like best friends do?

Friends stick together, and that's forever,
That's why I want to...

Be there with you,
I want to be there with you,
Simply want to be close to you all of my life,
I just want to be there with you,
Be there with you,
I just want to be there with you all of my life,
I just want to be there with you,
Be there with you,
I just want to be there with you all of my life,
I just want to be there with you,
Spend my life and be close to you,
I just want to be there with you all of my life,
I just want to be there with you,
I just want to be there with you,
Jesus, I will be there with you all of my life,
I just want to be there with you,
I just want to be there with you,
Always want to be close to you all of my life,
Oh,
Oh yeah,
Oh.
