You Were There

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I guess you heard, I guess you know In time, I'd have told you but I guess I'm too slow And it's overly romantic but I know that it's real I hope you don't mind if I say what I feel It's like I'm in somebody else's dream This could not be happening to me [Chorus] But you were there You were everything I'd never seen You woke me up from this long and endless sleep I was alone I opened my eyes and you were there [Verse 2] Don't be alarmed, no, don't be concerned I don't want to change things, leave them just as they were I mean, nothing's really different, it's me who feels strange I'm always lost for words when someone mentions your name I know that I'll get over this for sure I'm not the type who dreams there could be more [Chorus] But you were there You were everything I'd never seen You woke me up from this long and endless sleep I was alone I opened my eyes, you were there [Bridge] Can I take your smile home with me? Or the magic in your hair? [Verse 3] The rain has stopped, the storm has passed Look at all the colors, now the sun's here at last I suppose that you'll be leaving but I want you to know Part of you stays with me even after you go Like an actor playing someone else's scene This could not be happening to me [Chorus] But you were there You were everything I'd never seen You woke me up from this long and endless sleep I was alone I opened my eyes [Outro] And no, no, I'm not alone No, I'm not alone I opened my eyes and you were there
