---

And though your light has dimmed and now it's dark,
When you were here you know you left your mark,
A life so full that moved so many hearts,
Will never truly end.

A string of memories of little things,
The times we laughed and all the songs we'd sing,
Will take some of the pain out of the sting,
Till I see you again.

Chorus:
YOU WERE HERE,
Changing everything you touched,
Loving everyone so much.
YOU WERE HERE,
In the time you had to live,
You gave all you had to give.
And we'll never really be apart,
'Cause it's written in my heart,
YOU WERE HERE.

And as this darkness turns to endless night,
I feel your love surround and hold me tight,
And in my dreams I know I'll see the light,
Of your loving smile.

And even if this chapter's at its end,
It doesn't take that much now to pretend,
I'll find you waiting for me 'round the bend,
In just a little while.

Repeat Chorus

Knowing you're standing close to me,
I will always see,

Repeat Chorus
