Lyrics If You Were Here

[Father]:
What is it Annie?

[Daughter]:
I miss you.

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
On 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

[Father]:
(laughs)

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.
I love you most.

I hope somewhere you hear them too

[Father]:
Next time I see you you'll proudly sing it back to me.

Now that I'm here
I love you

[Daughter]:
It's okay you can go now.
