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      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      You were there   You were there   You were there   I know you were      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      You were there   You were there   You were there   I know you were
