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
