Where were you when I needed you so

Where were you when the waves came crashing upon the shore

Where were you when this kind of love I couldn't uphold

Where were you when I couldn't take it anymore



We shared a lifetime of love

In those days see

The fruits of love

We're barely beginning

Again and again

I'd live as you had shown me to be

yet as fate changed you'ld act

As if you didn't know me

I thought family was supposed to stay close throughout the end

I wanted to be your loved one not only your counseling friend

And although you seemed happy I simply could not understand



Where were you when I needed you so

Where were you when the waves came crashing upon the shore

Where were you when this kind of love I could'nt uphold

Where were you when I couldn't take it anymore



All I did want

Was for someone to hold me

So close that I'd feel

Oh some security

To ease my intermost pleas

Tenderness who held the key

Time as it passes

Proves only that I've grown free

Of the fears that we both shared when I was a just a little girl

I found out that tears shed for pain are like rain it starts to fall

where the earth absorbs water that nourishes it's deepest core

Expressed emotion helps me to grow



But where were you when I needed you so

Where were you when the waves came crashing upon the shore

Where were you when my heart lay bleeding on the floor

Where were you



Now old regret

Has started to flee

Anger and tears

No longer afflict me, yeah

True humility

Can only let you be

Time as it passes

Proves only

That we're growing free

Now our lives take a new meaning since we're changing what has past
