You were therenWhen I was looking throughnYour pictures in the nightnYou were therenWhen I fell asleep and InWoke up in the lightnAnd when the streets fillednAnd my heart stillednAnd I asked someone the timen[Chorus:]nYou were therenYou were therenYou were therenI know you werenAnd you were therenWhen I stopped to starenBy the quiet treesnAnd you were therenAnd I thought that you werenSomeone else I'd seennAnd when the traffic roarednAnd my heart soarednSo that I could hardly breathen(Chorus)nOh you were therenWhen I stood and watchednFrom so many years agonYou must have smilednWhen I was walking throughnThe places that you'd knownnAnd when I'd given upnAnd all the letters stoppednAnd no trace at all remainedn(Chorus)
