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)
