I remember it was later in December When we got the call Dead of winter cut deep like a splinter From the weight of it all When the news came For me the hardest part of all Was to see you sitting there So brokenhearted I'd forgotten how it felt To hit the bottom when you suffer pain It was like trying to run A hundred miles in the pouring rain But the truth is not even storms Can kill this flame My promise to you always remains In the middle of the cold, dark night In the middle it'll be all right I will be there, I will be there And if pain is the ocean You are swimming in If I can't pull you out I'm diving in Never thought I could love anyone The way that I loved you And if it took my life I'd fight to protect you, too But I was helpless And there was nothing I could do So I'll just wrap My arms around you and say I believe that God was there Watching over us I believe He heard our prayers He cried along with us Even when our hearts are scared He's closer than He seems And I can hear Him sing In the middle of the cold, dark night In the middle it'll be all right I will be there, I will be there And if pain is the ocean You are swimming in You can rest assured That I'll be diving in In the middle of the cold, dark night In the middle it'll be all right I will be there, I will be there And when pain is the ocean You are swimming in Like I've done before, I'm diving in I am diving, I am diving in
