You Were There

I guess you 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

But you were there

And 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

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

But you were there

And 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

Oh, can I take your smile home with me? (Oh)

Or the magic in your hair? (In your hair)

The rain has stopped, the storm has passed

Look at all the colors, now the Sun's 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 go

Like an actor playing someone else's scene (someone else's scene)

This could not be happening to me

But you were there (and you were there)

You were everything I'd never seen (I'd never seen)

You woke me up from this long and endless sleep (you woke me up in endless sleep)

I was alone (I was alone)

I opened my eyes

And no, I'm not alone

No, not alone (you're not alone)

I opened my eyes and you were there (you were there)

I opened my eyes and you were there
