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
