While You Where Here lyrics

Through this veil of tears

I can see what was suppose to be

Now it's all so clear

Love from you was so real, so true, genuine

Stronger than time

[Chorus:]

Wipe your tears away

Kiss you every morning

Hear every word you had to say

Are all the things I should have done

While you were here

And now the foolish boy has grown

Into this man I'm sorry you've never known

I'm not afraid to love

'Cause every beat of my heart

Echoes all those memories from way back when

And the man I should have been

[Chorus]

Faded dreams of you and me

And of our little family

Gone forever

My God in heaven

Before the gift of clarity

We pay the price of misery

Why please tell me why

Her mommy's gone away

But in her eyes I see you more each day

How can I repay

All your love unreturned

From so long, long ago

Now I know

[Alternate Chorus]

I'll wipe her tears away

Kiss her every morning

Hear every word she has to say

Do all the things that you

Would do if you were here

Brighten her rainy day

Catch her when she's fallen

Say I love you each and every day

Do all the things that you

Would do if you were here

[Chorus]
