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



Chorus:



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



(Chorus)



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



(Chorus
