| 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 |
