My friends all use the past tense when they speak of you
|
And so to make them comfortable I use it too
|
They'd soon have me committed if they only knew
|
What I believe with all my heart is true
|
|
I know you're there
|
Although it's nothing I can prove
|
I know you're there
|
By just the way the shadows move
|
And though I said goodbye and finally let you go
|
I know you're there
|
Although I don't know how I know
|
|
I know you see
|
The crazy things I sometimes do
|
They make you laugh
|
So I still do them just for you
|
And when I'm entertaining all the friends I love
|
I know you see
|
And that you're laughing from above
|
|
You needn't panic
|
I'm not consulting any guru
|
Calling psychics
|
Or practicing with voodoo
|
I'm not manic or depressive
|
I just miss you
|
|
So I'll go on
|
Enjoying life for all it's worth
|
Because I'm sure
|
that you're still sharing in the mirth
|
And when there's sadness it's no more than I can bear
|
Because you are, and always were, and always will be there
|
|

You're There
