Duet with Porter Wagoner
Writer Dolly Parton
Copyright 1973

From the start I promised you that I would always be
Waiting here at anytime you ever needed me
I love you then and I love you now as I always will
And I am always waiting willing to forgive
I'll be your shelter from the storm my love will keep you safe and warm
I'm a harbor on your stormy sea you can always come to me for I am always
waiting
My arms are always open wide and I will dry the tears you cried
If you should ever need someone darling let it be me
I will mend your broken heart and I'll replace the missing parts
I am always waiting anytime you need me
I'll be your shelter...
For I am always waiting
