You Were There
You were there
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)
Estabas allí
Estabas allí
Cuando estaba mirando a través
Tus fotos en la noche
Estabas allí
Cuando me quedé dormido y me
Desperté en la luz
Y cuando las calles se llenaron
Y mi corazón se detuvo
Y le pregunté a alguien la hora
Coro:
Estabas allí
Estabas allí
Estabas allí
Sé que estabas
Y estabas allí
Cuando me detuve a mirar
Junto a los árboles tranquilos
Y estabas allí
Y pensé que eras
Alguien más que había visto
Y cuando el tráfico rugía
Y mi corazón se elevaba
Tanto que apenas podía respirar
(Coro)
Oh, estabas allí
Cuando me paré y observé
Desde tantos años atrás
Debes haber sonreído
Cuando caminaba por
Los lugares que conocías
Y cuando me había rendido
Y todas las cartas se detuvieron
Y no quedó rastro alguno
(Coro)
