Dolly Parton - If You Hadn't Been There Lyrics

If you hadn't been there
Where would I be?
Without your trust
Love and belief
The ups and downs
We've always shared
And I wouldn't be here
If you hadn't been there

If you hadn't been there
Well, who would I be?
You've always see the best in me
Your loving arms have cradled me
You held me close, and I believe

I wouldn't be here
If you hadn't been there
Holding my hand
Showing you care
You made me dream
More than I dared
And I wouldn't be here
If you hadn't been there

Oh, you are my rock (mm)
A soft place to land
My wings, my confidence
You understand
Your willingness
Beyond compare
No, I wouldn't be here
If you hadn't been there

I wouldn't be here
If you hadn't been there
Pushing me on
When I was scared
I thank God and you (thank God and you)
Oh, for your loving care
And for giving me love
With more to spare
You made me climb
And top the stairs
I wouldn't be here
I wouldn't be here
If you hadn't been there

I wouldn't be here
If you hadn't been there
