There You Were
H & Claire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was counting down the minutes
I was wishin on the stars
I was prayin for a sign
And tryin to beat the odds
I was dreamin of you
Long before I saw your face
And there you were baby
Waitin for that day
Then you reached through the hurricane
When you baby you called my name

You broke through the storm
And you turned back the night
Baby you are the fire
Burnin the midnight sky
And your love
Keeps taking me higher
Just when all hope was gone
Where the hero belongs…..
There you were

Must have broke into heaven
Just to roll back the clouds
Were you on a mission
Were you seekin me out
Was I that one in a million
Was I that one sacred kiss
That you couldn't chance
You just couldn't miss
Then you whispered through the silent tears
When you, you swept away all my fears

You broke through the storm
And you turned back the night
Baby you are the fire
Burnin the midnight sky
And your love
Keeps taking me higher
Just when all hope was gone
Where the hero belongs….
There you were

Standin in the middle of nowhere
With your arms wide open and you
You were the reason when there was no reason
In my life
You're the reason in my life

You broke through the storm
And you turned back the night
Baby you are the fire
Burnin the midnight sky
And your love
Keeps taking me higher
Just when all hope was gone
There you were
You broke through the storm
And turned back the night
Baby you are the fire
Burnin the midnight sky
And your love
Keeps taking me higher
Just when all hope was gone
Where the hero belongs……
There you were

Like the light in the eye of the storm
Tellin me not to cry anymore
Where I watched my whole world fall apart
Shinin through like an angel from afar

Like the light in the eye of the storm
Tellin me not to cry anymore
Where I watched my whole world fall apart
Shinin through like an angel from afar

Like the light in the eye of the storm
Tellin me not to cry anymore




Where I watched my whole world fall apart
Shinin through like an angel from afar
