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
