Lyrics
If You Were There
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You're the one that makes my day a dream come true,
Yet and still you wander if I think of you,
You ought to see how the other girls behave when you're not around,
And only then you would know that it's on your finger I'm wound
If you were there you'd know
If you were there you'd know
If you were there you'd know
If you were there you'd know
That I care
There's no need for you not to have faith in me,
'Cause it's by your side girl that I long to be,
Yes there are times with my friends when I don't have much to say,
What you don't know is with you I could never act that way
If you were there you'd know
If you were there you'd know
If you were there you'd know
If you were there you'd know
That I care
I care for you baby
I swear I care for you
I care for you baby
There's no need for you not to have faith in me,
'Cause it's by your side girl that I long to be,
Yes there are times with my friends when I don't have much to say,
What you don't know is with you I could never act that way
If you were there you'd know
If you were there you'd know
If you were there you'd know
If you were there you'd know
That I care
I care for you baby
I swear I care for you
I care for you baby
You know I care for you...
