I Will Always Be Like That

Lyrics to a country ballad

If you’re looking for a smile when you awake 

I will always be that way

If you need a love that someone won’t forsake

I will always be that way

But, if you’re looking for rain on a sunny day

You know I will never treat you that way

There’s not a moment that I won’t spare

Just to show you how much I care….

If you’re looking for arms that will hold you tight

I will always be that way

If you want a friend that knows to do what’s right

I will always be that way

But if you’re looking for tears that won’t go away

You know I will never treat you that way

There’s not a moment I won’t love you 

I’ll never place no one above you

If you dream, you can dream of me

I will be there for eternity

If you wish, you can wish for me

I will love you unceasingly

If you’re looking for someone that needs you too

I will always be that way

If need a heart that’s sturdy, strong and true

I will always be that way

But, when you think you haven't got a prayer

Look behind you I will always be there

Just when think you’ve lost your world

I will be the one who saves you girl

Yeah, I will be the one who saves you girl

And I will always be that way….

Author's Note

Meant more as song lyrics than a straight up poem.

Reviews

[Samuel Dickens]

Song or poem, these words make me want such a person in my life. Sadly for me, that will never be. Although I thought the speaker was female, there's no reason why it couldn't be male. This is the kind of poetry I love--the kind that's easily understood and says something worth remembering.

[JMEISTER]

Agreed, I always keep it simple.

[Samuel Dickens]

I strive for the same thing in my writing. Too often with poetry, I don't know what the heck they're saying.

Thanks for you kind words, SD!

[JMEISTER]

I agree. Big fancy words does not = good poetry!

[JMEISTER]

FYI: My name is John. The speaker is male! (lol)
