Sometimes I look at you 
Sad and so beautiful 
Just turn sixteen 
And so far from home 
Much too much for you 
Much too soon 
Empty eyes gazin' at the moon 

As sure as I'm standing here 
You'll never have to be afraid 
As sure as I'm standin' here 
I'll try and help you find your way 
Oh I swear, as sure as I'm standing here 
You'll never need to be alone 
You've got my word 
as sure as I'm standing here 

Sometimes I look at you 
sleepin' like a baby 
your hair combed with sunlight 
full of sweet days 
you say nothin' matters 
say you know how it is 
did you think it would be like this? 

But sure as standin' here
