Lyrics

He Was Always There

As I look at old photograph's and see his smiling face
I drift back to another time and place
At the ball park, on the playground, and at the county fair
Looking back, He was always there

Chorus To know him as a brother was to know him as a friend
The times we spent together I think of now and then
A brothers love will see you through
No matter what it is you do
Like the times, I thought that no one cared
Looking back, He was always there

He moved out of our small town, and I didn't see him much
But he would call, just to stay in touch
Between our busy schedules, there was not much time to spare
But I knew, He was always there

Chorus To know him as a brother was to know him as a friend
The times we spent together, I think of now and then
A brothers love will see you through
No matter what it is you do
Like the times, I thought that no one cared
Looking back, He was always there

Bridge: He called me with the news I felt so confused
Oh God don't let this be true

I stood by his bedside, the tears filled my eyes
He whispered, it's okay to cry
I told him that I loved him and someday we'd meet again
I held him as an angel came and took him by the hand

Chorus: To know him as a brother was to know him as a friend
The life he led, the fun we had, I never will forget
His gentle soul will always be, walking alongside of me
I am blessed, to have known the love we shared
Looking back, He was always there

Looking Back He was always there
