You Were There Lyrics & Chords By John Foxx

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

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

You were there
You were there
You were there
I know you were
And you were there
When I stopped to stare

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

You were there
You were there
You were there
I know you were
And you were there
When I stopped to stare
