Will You Be There (In The Morning)

The speaker lies awake beside a loved one, feeling intense affection but also fear. The repeated question about whether the person will still be there in the morning suggests a need for reassurance and a wish for the relationship to continue beyond the present moment. As the song develops, the speaker moves from anxious thoughts to openly asking for lasting love, while still sounding vulnerable and uncertain.

Several expressions show how powerful these feelings seem to the speaker. Calling the loved one an “obsession,” “addiction,” and “drug” suggests dependence and longing, not a calm or balanced attachment. “The more that I touch you, the more I want” conveys desire that grows rather than being satisfied by closeness. The candle becoming “a great fire of love” is an image of affection growing stronger.

The lyrics can be heard as a sincere plea for commitment: the speaker wants a love that lasts, not something that disappears after one night. At the same time, the repeated requests may hint at insecurity or fear of being left, even while the two people are physically close. The song does not tell us whether the loved one shares these feelings, so its central question remains unresolved.
