You Were There Lyrics
Regine Velasquez
I guess youve heard
I guess you know
In time, I might have told you
But I guess Im too slow
Thats hardly romantic
But I know that its real
I hope you dont mind
If I say what I feel
Its like Im in somebody elses dream
This could not be happening to me
But you were there
You were everything Id never seen
You woke me up from this long
And empty sleep
I was alone
I opened my eyes
And you were there
Dont be alarmed
No, dont become sound
I dont wanna change things
Leave them just as they were
I mean, nothings really different
Its me who feels strange
Im always lost for words
When someone mentions your name
I know that Ill get over this
For sure
Im not the type who dreams
They could be more
But you were there
You were everything Id 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 youll be leaving
But I want you to know
Part of you stays with me
Even after youve gone
Like an actor plays in someone elses scene
This could not be happening to me
But you were there
You were everything Id 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
