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
or a partner with no dancer or no song
you set my life to music
the day you came along
and there for a while
all of my dreams came true
there for a while
there was nothing i couldn't do
yes there for a while
the future was finally clear
'cause therefore a while
therefore a while you were near
guess i never asked you
afraid of what the answer might be
would you love me forever
never wanting to be free
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 a while
the future was finally clear
'cause therefore a while
therefore a while you were here
yes there for a while
there for a while you were here
