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
