You Were There Lyrics - Foxx John

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)
