Introduction :
Right Hand plays the Intro according to the background Piano music starting from D E D C A C E D then you continue with your own listening skills for melody.
Left Hand dances on chords F G C E F, then F G C
Anywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I'll be there
Anytime you whisper my name, you'll see
How every single promise I keep
Cuz what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most
(Left Hand dances an octave lower than introduction on F G C E F, F G A, F G C E F, F G and C. Right Hand plays the Melody with simple chords)
Pause!
What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them
What are words
If they're only for good times
Then they don't
When it's love
Yeah, you say them out loud
Those words, They never go away
They live on, even when we're gone
(Left Hand gracefully dances on F G C, F G A, F G C E A E F, G7th. Right Hand plays the Melody with slight broken chords, your choice, your style)
And I know an angel was sent just for me
And I know I'm meant to be where I am
And I'm gonna be
Standing right beside her tonight
And I'm gonna be by your side
I would never leave when she needs me most
(Left Hand dances an octave lower than introduction on F G C E F, F G A, F G C E F, F G and C. Right Hand plays the Melody with simple chords)

If I was to leave when you need me most
I'm forever keeping my angel close
