There You Are

Carolyn Arends


I was hoping you would write to me a message in the stars 
As if the stars themselves were not enough 
And I awaited your arrival here from some place very far 
As if I couldn't feel your constant touch 
Why did I think that you'd send thunder 
To wake me from my slumber 
When anytime I open up my eyes 

CHORUS: 
There you are - loving me like crazy 
There you are - though I am unaware 
There you are - when my heart is doubting 
Even there you are 

I was waiting for a miracle and hoping for a sign 
As if each breath I take is not a gift 
And I was acting just as if the way you gave your life for mine 
Didn't have my foolish heart convinced 
What did I think could cause this hunger 
Did I ever stop to wonder 
Why every time I open my eyes 

CHORUS 

I was hoping you would write to me a message in the stars 
As if the stars themselves were not enough
