When You Were Here
I heard the river call my name
to the place where we had lain
beneath the distant stars.
And so I sat on rain-soaked grass
thinking of the evening past
and of the words we shared.
It isn't sorrow that I feel
I have no hurts that need to heal,
just a guarded emptiness.
But sunshine follows morning rain
and dries the tear into a stainâ
a mottled memory of you.
What will come no one can say
I know the things for which I prayâ¦
If it be your willâ¦
if it be your willâ¦
if it be your willâ¦
Should my hopes and dreams not come true
I know that no is an answer tooâ¦
I'll have to wait and see.
What will come no one can say
I know the things for which I prayâ¦
If it be your willâ¦
if it be your willâ¦
if it be your willâ¦
If it be your willâ¦
if it be your willâ¦
if it be your willâ¦
I heard the river call my name
but it didn't sound the same
as when you were hereâ¦
when you were hereâ¦
when you were here.
