You Were There

You were there When I was looking through Your pictures in the night You were there When I fell asleep and I Woke up in the light And when the streets filled And my heart stilled And I asked someone the time You were there You were there You were there I know you were And you were there When I stopped to stare By the quiet trees And you were there And I thought that you were Someone else I'd seen And when the traffic roared And my heart soared So that I could hardly breathe You were there You were there You were there I know you were And you were there When I stopped to stare Oh you were there When I stood and watched From so many years ago You must have smiled When I was walking through The places that you'd known And when I'd given up And all the letters stopped And no trace at all remained You were there You were there You were there I know you were And you were there When I stopped to stare
