Text: Steve Wariner. There For Awhile.

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
