There You Were Lyrics - Jessica Simpson

I was counting down the minutes 

I was wishin' on the stars 

I was prayin' for a sign 

And tryin' to beat the odds 

I was dreamin' of you 

Long before I saw your face 

There you were 

Waitin' for that day 

Then you reached through the hurricane 

When you, baby, you called my name 

You broke through the storm 

And you turned back the night 

Baby you are the fire 

Burnin' the midnight sky 

And your love 

Keeps taking me higher 

Just when all hope was gone 

Where the hero belongs 

There you were 

There you were 

Oh, oh 

Must have broken into heaven 

Just to roll back the clouds 

Were you on a mission 

Were you seeking me out 

Was I that one in a billion 

Was I that one sacred kiss 

That you couldn't chance 

You just couldn't miss 

And you, babe, you whispered through the silent tears 

When you, you swept away all my fears, oh no 

You broke through the storm 

And you turned back the night 

Baby you are the fire 

Burnin' the midnight sky 

And your love 

Keeps taking me higher 

Just when all hope was gone 

Where the hero belongs 

There you were, babes 

Standin' in the middle of nowhere 

With your arms wide open 

And you, you were the reason 

When there was no reason in my life 

You're the reason in my life 

You broke through the storm 

And you turned back the night 

Baby you are the fire 

Burnin' the midnight sky 

And your love 

Is taking me higher 

Just when all 

(Just when all) 

Hope was gone 

(Hope was gone) 

There you were, babe 

(Oh, baby) 

You broke through the storm 

And you turned back the night 

Baby you are the fire 

Burnin' the midnight sky 

And your love 

Is taking me higher 

Just when all hope was gone 

Where the hero belongs 

There you were 

Hero 

Yeah 

Like the light in the eye of the storm 

Tellin' me not to cry anymore 

(There you were) 

Where I watched my whole world fall apart 

(Oh, babe) 

Shinin' through like on angel from afar 

(Oh, like an angel) 

You broke through the storm 

And you turned back the night 

Baby you are the fire 

Burnin' the midnight sky 

And your love 

Is taking me higher 

Just when all hope was gone 

There you were, babe 

(Oh, baby) 

You broke through the storm 

And you turned back the night 

Baby you are the fire 

Burnin' the midnight sky 

And your love 

Is taking me higher
