Fargo, Donna - You Were Always There Lyrics

Lyrics:
Can't remember my first mem'ry of you you were always there
And now I know I never knew you well
But I was just a kid and you were always there
To pick me up everytime I fell.

And you always warmed a blanket to wrap around my feet
When you tucked me into bed to say my prayers
And I'll bet I never thanked you among all the other things
That I took for granted cause you were always there.

Yes, you were always there so we never took the time
For you to tell me your dreams and me to tell you mine
And we never took the time to talk of love and happiness
And life and death and heartache and pain and loneliness.

Why I don't even know if you were happy or if you could have been
Or if you could have one wish what would it be
Or what would you do differently if you could live again
And were you glad that you gave life to me.

And I'd give anything to tell you am I glad that you were born
But you'll never hear the words I've learned to say
'Cause before I got to know you died of loneliness
And they tell me I grew up and moved away.

Yes, you were always there so we never took the time
For you to tell me your dreams and me to tell you mine
There were so many things that could have been but now we'll never share
'Cause kids, don't know much and you were always there.

No kids, don't know much and you were always there...

Miss her

Oh what a beautiful tribute but oh how sad this song is

I love to hear her sing I could listen to her for hours shes the best singer in the world Barbara fairchild to

Прекрасная музыка! Люблю тебя Донна!

This song breaks my heart because I never had someone that was “Always There”

That special someone that we took for granted. Thanks for posting.

Her music makes me happy, but sad at the same time. We will never again have singers like we had in the 70's and earlier. All the great country singers are dying one by one. :((

I love all of of hear

Her music is so awesome. We just don't have country music like we did back in the 70's and earlier. I still have two of her albums that I listen too all the time

Excellent Super Talent

To my Mother In Heaven, She was always there and still is as my lovely 😇Angel!!We always took the time to talk,she knew everything about me&still does!!😧

For my Dad...he was always there for me.xxxxx

I grew up with this wonderful singer and my favorite song is daddy dumplin and I sing it to him all the time when I was a child and I still do to this day

A little twangy, but still one of the best songs ever written. For some reason, this is the day I thought of it

Just "Wow"!  Written AND sung by Donna Fargo. What a talent.  Thanks for sharing RonjasCCQ - really enjoyed it!!

I was a freshman in high school whe. I first heard this I think. I touched me so much even later in life that I made it a mission to share it with others and tell them it's not to late. I lnew my parent as people thanks to Donna Fargo.

she dead?

I just heard she had a stroke recently

fighting MS for a long time

I love this song, but it always brings a big "lump in my throat" when I listen to it. As a result I can hardly stand to listen, it affects me so much. That being said, I still think it is a great song and Donna Fargo delivers it in a powerful, believable way. Thanks for posting it.
