You Were There Lyrics

I guess you've heard, I guess you know
In time I'd have told you, but I guess I'm too slow
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

But you were there
And 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 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

But you were there
(And) 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 hair?
The rain has stopped, the storm has passed
Look at all the colors now the sun's here at last
I supposed 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

But you were there
And 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 no, Oh, I'm not alone
No, I'm not alone
I opened my eyes and you were there
