You Were There

Velasquez Regine

I guess you've heard


I guess you know


In time, I might have told you


But I guess I'm too slow


That's hardly 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


You were everything I'd never seen


You woke me up from this long


And empty sleep


I was alone


I opened my eyes


And you were there





Don't be alarmed


No, don't become sound


I don't wanna change things


Leave them just as they were


I mean, nothings 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


They could be more





But you were there


You were everything I'd never seen


You woke me up from this long


And empty sleep


I was alone


I opened my eyes


And you were there





Can I take your smile home with me


Or the magic in your hair


The rain has stopped


The storm has past


Look at all the colors


Now the suns 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've gone


Like an actor plays in someone else's scene


This could not be happening to me





But you were there


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


You were there
