Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
He called her on the roadFrom a lonely cold hotel roomJust to hear her say, I love you one more timeBut when he heard the soundOf the kids laughing in the backgroundHe had to wipe away a tear from his eyeA little voice came on the phoneSaid, “Daddy, when you coming home?”He said the first thing that came to his mind
I’m already thereTake a look aroundI’m the sunshine in your hairI’m the shadow on the groundI’m the whisper in the windI’m your imaginary friendAnd I know, I’m in your prayersOh, I’m already there
She got back on the phoneSaid, “I really miss you darling”Don’t worry about the kids, they’ll be alrightWish I was in your armsLying right there beside youBut I know that I’ll be in your dreams tonightAnd I’ll gently kiss your lipsTouch you with my fingertipsSo turn out the light and close your eyes
I’m already thereDon’t make a soundI’m the beat in your heartI’m the moonlight shining downI’m the whisper in the windAnd I’ll be there ’til the endCan you feel the love that we share?Oh, I’m already there
We may be a thousand miles apartBut I’ll be with you wherever you are
I’m already thereTake a look aroundI’m the sunshine in your hairI’m the shadow on the groundI’m the whisper in the windAnd I’ll be there ’til the endCan you feel the love that we share?Oh, I’m already there
Oh, I’m alreadyThere
