I'm Already There
Westlife Lyrics

He called her on the road
He made a phone call to her while travelling somewhere.

From a lonely cold hotel room
He was in a hotel room alone and missing her.

Just to hear her say I love you one more time
He just wanted to hear her express love for him one more time.

But when he heard the sound
But suddenly he heard something unexpected.

Of the kids laughing in the background
He heard the sounds of children playing and laughing in the background.

He had to wipe away a tear from his eye
This made him emotional, so he wiped his eyes to hide his tears.

A little voice came on the phone
One of his children came on the phone.

Said daddy when you coming home
The child wanted to know when he would be home.

He said the first thing that came to his mind
He replied the first thought that occurred to him.

I'm already there
He wanted to assure his child that he was already with them in spirit.

Take a look around
He asked his child to look around.

I'm the sunshine in your hair
He visualized himself as the bright sun rays on his child's hair.

I'm the shadow on the ground
He pictured himself as the shadow on the ground where his child was playing.

I'm the whisper in the wind
He described himself as a gentle whisper in the wind.

I'm your imaginary friend
He thought of himself as his child's imaginary friend.

And I know I'm in your prayers
He was aware that his child prayed for him.

She got back on the phone
She took the phone from their child.

Said I really miss you darling
She expressed that she missed him very much.

Don't worry about the kids they'll be alright
She reassured him that everything was fine with the children.

Wish I was in your arms
She wished to be in his arms at that moment.

Lying right there beside you
She wished to be lying next to him.

But I know that Ill be in your dreams tonight
She consoled herself with the thought that she would be in his dreams that night.

And Ill gently kiss your lips
She dreamt of kissing him softly.

Touch you with my fingertips
She imagined touching him gently with her fingers.

So turn out the light and close your eyes
She asked him to turn off the light and close his eyes to sleep.

Don't make a sound
He asked her to be quiet.

I'm the beat in your heart
He imagined himself as the beating in her heart.

I'm the moonlight shining down
He imagined himself as the moonlight shining on her face.

And Ill be there until the end
He promised to be there for her until the end of time.

Can you feel the love that we share
He asked if she could feel the love they shared.

We may be a thousand miles apart
They were far away from each other, despite the distance.

But Ill be with you wherever you are
He promised to always be with her no matter where she is.

Oh I'm already there
He repeated that he was already with her in spirit.
