Southern Sons - You Were There lyrics

rate me

I guess you've 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.

Chorus:

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 feel 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.

Chorus:

But you were there, and you were

everything I'd never seen.

You woke me up from this long and endless sleep.

And 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 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

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 no, no,I'm not alone, no, I'm not alone.

I opened my eyes and you were there.
