If You Were Here Lyrics

Father: What is it Annie?
Daughter: I miss you.
[This is actually on track 17--you have it at the end of track 16 (Amazed).]
If you were here
I know that you would
Truly be amazed
At what's become of what you made
If you were here
You would know how I treasured every day
How every single word you spoke
ECHOES in me like a memory of hope
When you were here
You could not feel the value that I placed
One every look that crossed your face
When you were here
I did not know just how I had embraced
All that you hid behind your face
Could not hide from me
'Cause it hid in me too
Father:
HOW ARE YOU, TIGER? THIS IS GREAT FUN, TO BE ABLE
TO TALK WITH YOU...like this.
In fact I'm going to do it more often.
Now that I'm here I hear you and wonder if maybe
you can hear yourself
Ringing in me now that YOU'RE somewhere else.
Father:
I miss you a lot
'Cause I hear your strange music gentle and true
Father: I'M SHARING WITH YOU SOME OF MY
REFLECTIONS.
Singing inside me with The best parts of you
NOW THAT I'M HERE
Father:
But I'm so proud of everything you do there
Father:
Next time I see you you'll proudly sing it back to
me
Now that I'm here
Father: Oh...
I love you...
Daughter:
It's okay, you can go now
