You Were There

I guess you've heard

I guess you know

In time, I might have told you

But I guess I'm too slow

That's hardly 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 become sound

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

They 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 hair

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've gone

Like an actor plays in 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 you were there

You were there
