       Lyrics 

Anywhere you are, I am nearAnywhere you go, I'll be thereAnytime you whisper my nameYou'll see
How every single promise I'll keep'Cause what kind of guy would I beIf I was to leaveWhen you need me most?
What are wordsIf you really don't mean them when you say them?What are wordsIf they're only for good times, then they don't?
When it's loveYeah, you say them out loudThose words, they never go awayThey live on, even when we're gone
And I know an angel was sentJust for me and I know I'm meantTo be where I amAnd I'm gonna be
Standing right beside her tonightAnd I'm gonna be by your sideI would never leaveWhen she needs me most
What are wordsIf you really don't mean them when you say them?What are wordsIf they're only for good times, then they don't?
When it's loveYeah, you say them out loudThose words, they never go awayThey live on, even when we're gone
Anywhere you are, I am nearAnywhere you go, I'll be thereAnd I'm gonna be hereForever more
Every single promise I keep'Cause what kind of guy would I beIf I was to leaveWhen you need me most?
I'm forever keeping my angel close
