Then I (Ab)heard you (Db)say:

(Ab)when your heart is filled with (Bbm7)sor row and de (Ebsus)spair.

I’ll (Ab)car ry (Db)you

when you (Eb)need a (Fm)friend.

You’ll find my foot prints (Eb)in

the sand.

(Ebsus)when I heard you say:

(Db)I prom ise (Ab)you

I’m al ways (Db)there

(Ab)when your heart is filled with (Bbm7)sor row and de (Ebsus)spair.

I’ll (Ab)car ry (Db)you
