If You Hadn’t Been There Songtext
von Dolly Parton

If you hadn′t been there, where would I be?
Without your trust, love, and belief
The ups and downs we've always shared
And I wouldn′t be here if you hadn't been there


If you hadn't been you, well, who would I be?
You′ve always seen the best in me
Your loving arms have cradled me
You held me close, and I believe
I wouldn′t be here if you hadn't been there
Holding my hand, showing you care
You made me dream more than I dared (ooh)
And I wouldn′t be here if you hadn't been there

Oh, you are my rock (mm), a soft place to land
My wings, my confidence, you understand
Your willingness beyond compare
No, I wouldn′t be here if you hadn't been there

I wouldn′t be here if you hadn't been there
Pushing me on when I was scared (ooh)
I thank God and you (thank God and you), oh, for your loving care
And for giving me love with more to spare
You made me climb and top the stairs
I wouldn't be here, I wouldn′t be here if you hadn′t been there


Oh, I wouldn't be here if you hadn′t been there
Mm
