[Verse 1]
G        C
  For so long I was looking,
      F                          C     C
For a reason to make living worthwhile
C                                        G
I found that reason when I first saw you smile
             C
There was no question you were the answer,
      F                         C
For a partner with no dancer or no song
    C
You set my life to music
F      G             C    C  Dm
   The day you came along.

[Chorus]
C   F
And there for a while,
G                     C    Dm C
All of my dreams came true
F
There for a while,
D7                  G              G
  There was nothing I couldn't do
     F
Yes, there for a while,
    G                  C
The future was finally clear
E7        F
   'Cause there for a while,
G                           C
There for a while, you were here.

[Verse 2]
  C
I guess I never asked you,
 F                              C   C
Afraid of what the answer might be
C
Would you love me forever,
                    G     G
Never wanting to be free?
  C             G
I had no way of knowing,
         Am            F      C   C
Just how soon you'd be going away
C
Would it have made a difference,
F         G                C     Dm
  If only I'd asked you to stay.

[Chorus]
C   F
Now I don't know,
     G                      C   Dm
What my life could hold for me
 C     F                    D7
'Cause I know that I had it all,
              G
When you were holding me
     F
Yes, there for a while,
    G                  C
The future was finally clear
E7        F
   'Cause there for a while,
G                           Am   D7
There for a while, you were here.

[Outro]
F C    Dm
  Yes, there for a while,
G                           F    C  Dm  C
There for a while, you were here...
