Music and lyrics: Angelo La Bionda, Carmelo La Bionda, Charly Ricanek / Richard Palmer-Jones
From: Timeless (1997).
Source of the lyrics: thanks to Carlos Edmar de Almeida Souza
and Alessandra Cavalletti.
Note: the words between square brackets are not sung, but they have
to be there for the sentences to make sense, so I'm told.
People have sent me emails asking for the sheet music of this song and I have to disappoint everyone: I have no sheet music, nor do I know where to get it -- sorry.
- Sarah:
- There for me, every time I've been away
Will you be there for me, thinking of my ev'ry day
Are you my destiny, words I never dared to say
Will you be there for me?
- Just think of you and me, we could never toe the line
It's such a mystery just to hear you say you're mine
And while you're close to me, so close to me
Just hold me
- José:
- If you're not with me, the city looks gray
When I walk alone, I see children playing
Faces and voices from the past that I did not recall
They ask me
- Both:
- Are you still there for me?
Maybe any day then
The world will see that too little can happen
And you'll be there for me, listen what they say
But you're just there for me
- Sarah:
- And while you're close to me, so close to me
Just hold me
- José:
- Tell me how long you will be with me
Tell me the things you hide inside of you
We have so many dreams that we can live in the end
I hope that
- Both:
- You are still there for me
Maybe any day then
The world will see that little can happen
And you'll be there for me, listen what they say
But you're just there for me
- Sarah:
- There for me
- José:
- There for me
- Sarah:
- There for me
===> All-English versions of this song by Sarah
(duets with others)
After that, Sarah and José sing the song with some Italian lyrics, featuring on this page.
And in 2002 there was a French adaptation entitled "Je serai là pour toi" (from Quebec, Canada) by Gini Quilico, a famous opera singer and Marilou, a 12 year old girl.
Gary Morrison wrote me about this version that the lyrics "have been changed to reflect the questions of a young girl asking an adult if he will be there to help her through his life. The adult shows his concerns that she will one day leave on her own, but when she replies that she doesn't understand, he tells her that he will always be there for her. It's a wonderful and touching adaptation." Lyrics of this adaptation can be found at this page and at other webpages.
By the way, there also is a French version of the same title by Françoise Hardy. This is a 2002 French adaptation, originally written in 1951 and it is a completely different song.
Another French song with the same title can be found here.
And in 2003 Sandra & Tony Alessi recorded an adapted version of There for me.
