When You Were Here

(When the stars come out at night

When the sun sets on the horizon

And I'm watching, waiting...)

Tell me a story, I'll close my eyes

And watch it play out, just like a movie

Let's play a game of make believe

We could be anything you want us to be

Out there, somewhere

How do we get there?

 

When the stars come out at night

When the sun sets on the horizon

And I'm watching, waiting, hoping maybe

Baby, you're thinking of me

When the last note of the song is played

I can't help myself but to say

Baby, when you were here was my favorite time of year

 

I've been wasting my time

Preoccupied, drawing outside the lines

I've been driving to I don't know where

Wishing for a chance to catch you there

 

When the stars come out at night

When the sun sets on the horizon

And I'm watching, waiting, hoping maybe

Baby, you're thinking of me

When the last note of the song is played

I can't help myself but to say

When the stars come out at night

When the sun sets on the horizon

And I'm watching, waiting, praying maybe

Somewhere, somehow, you can feel me

When the last note of the song is played

This was the line that came to mind

When you were here was my favorite time of year

 

I'd skip London, I'd pass up France

And forget the world, for a second

I'd pass up London, I'd skip France

Forget the world and get back home to you

Forget the world, it's me and you

 

Cause when the stars come out at night

And the sun sets on the horizon

I'll be watching, waiting, hoping maybe

Baby, you're thinking of me

The last note of the song's been played

I guess that I'll be on my way

When you were here was my favorite time of year
