You Were There - Noël Coward

Was in the real world, or was it in a dream?

Was it just a note in some eternal theme?

Was it accidental or accurately planned?

How could I hesitate

Knowing that my fate

Led me by the hand?

You were there

I saw you and my heart stopped beating

You were there

And in that first enchanted meeting

Life changed its tune

The stars and Moon

Came near to me

Dreams that I dreamed like magic seemed to be

Clear to me

Dear to me

You were there

Your eyes looked to mine and faltered

Everywhere

The color of the whole world altered

False became true

My universe tumbled in two

The earth became heaven for you

Were there

How could we explain it, the spark and then the fire?

How add up the total of our hearts' desire?

Maybe some magician a thousand years ago

Wove us a subtle spell

So that we could tell

So that we could know

You were there

I saw you and my heart stopped beating

You were there

And in that first enchanted meeting

Life changed its tune

The stars and Moon

Came near to me

Dreams that I dreamed like magic seemed to be

Clear to me

Dear to me

You were there

Your eyes looked to mine and faltered

Everywhere

The color of the whole world altered

False became true

My universe tumbled in two

The earth became heaven for you

Were there
