When You Were Here
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.
Hears the baby awake, leaves her feelings under the covers
Another day without her lover
Always finds a smile for the sunshine in her life
Making tea for one, why bother?
Tonight her friends are coming round
She said they're coming to hide me
Tell me what they think I need
Oh you know where to find me baby
When you were here
Our life was like a dream
When you were here
You loved me
When you were here
You said you'd never leave
When you were here
Oh I wish you were here
Re-arranged the place to make it feels like hers and she's not wrong
Just got used to his things for so long
Walls are caving in, there's no space no room to escape in
She's not the only one to miss him
When the baby smiles, she smiles like you
It's your picture she's kissing
Tonight if she cries will it be for you
Don't know what you're missing baby
When you were here
Our life was like a dream
When you were here
You loved me
When you were here
You said you'd never leave
When you were here
When you were here
Our life was like a dream
When you were here
You loved me
When you were here
You said you'd never leave
When you were here
When you were here
Our life was like a dream, like a dream
When you were here
You loved me
When you were here
You said you'd never leave
When you were here
When you were here
Our life was like a dream
When you were here, oh
You loved me
When you were here
You said you'd never leave
When you were here
