You Were There

(album: Retro - 1996)

I guess you've heard
I guess you know
In time, I might have told you
But I guess I'm too slow
Thats 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

But you were there
You were everything I'd never seen
You woke me up from this long
And empty sleep
I was alone
I opened my eyes
And you were there

Don't be alarmed
No, don't be concerned
I don't wanna change things
Leave them just as they were
I mean, nothings 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

But you were there
You were everything I'd never seen
You woke me up from this long
And empty sleep
I was alone
I opened my eyes
And you were there

Can I take your smile home with me?
Or the magic in your hand?

The rain has stopped
The storm has past
Look at all the colors
Now the suns 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're gone
Like an actor playing someone else's scene
This could not be happening to me

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 oh no Im not alone! no!!! Im not alone!!!!
I opened my eyes...
And you were there
You were there
