You Were There - Female Version

You Were There Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I guess you've heard, I guess you know
In time, I'd have told you but I guess I'm too slow
It's overly 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

[Chorus]
But you were there
And you were everything I'd never see
You woke me up from this long and endless sleep
I was alone
I opened my eyes and you were there

[Verse 2]
Don't be alarmed, no, don't be concerned
I don't want to change things, leave them just as they were
I mean, nothing's 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 there could be more

[Chorus]
But you were there
And you were everything I'd never see
You woke me up from this long and endless sleep
And I was alone
I opened my eyes and you were there


[Bridge]
Can I take your smile home with me?
Or the magic in your hand?

[Verse 3]
The rain has stopped, the storm has passed
Look at all the colors, now the sun's here at last
I suppose that you'd be leaving but I want you to know
Part of you stays with me even after you go
Like an actor playing someone else's scene
This could not be happening to me

[Chorus]
But you were there
And you were everything I'd never see
You woke me up from this long and endless sleep
I was alone
I opened my eyes

[Outro]
And oh, I'm not alone
No, I'm not alone
I opened my eyes and you were there
