You Were There lyrics

I guess you heard, I guess you know In time, I'd have told you but I guess I'm too slow It's overly romantic but I know that it's real I hope you don't mind if I say what I feel It's like I'm in somebody else's dream This could not be happening to me But you were there And you were everything I'd never seen You woke me up from this long and endless sleep I was alone I opened my eyes and you were there Don't be alarmed, no, don't be concerned I don't want to change things, leave them just as they were I mean, nothing's really different, it's me who feels strange I'm always lost for words when someone mentions your name I know that I'll get over this for sure I'm not the type who dreams there could be more But you were there And you were everything I'd never seen You woke me up from this long and endless sleep I was alone I opened my eyes and you were there Oh, can I take your smile home with me? (Oh) Or the magic in your hair? (In your hair) The rain has stopped, the storm has passed Look at all the colors, now the Sun's here at last I suppose that you'll be leaving, but I want you to know Part of you stays with me even after you go Like an actor playing someone else's scene (someone else's scene) This could not be happening to me But you were there (and you were there) You were everything I'd never seen (I'd never seen) You woke me up from this long and endless sleep (you woke me up in endless sleep) I was alone (I was alone) I opened my eyes And no, I'm not alone No, not alone (you're not alone) I opened my eyes and you were there (you were there) I opened my eyes and you were there
