You were there

I saw you walking through the crowd

On an ordinair night

Nothing special in the air

Until you stepped into my sight

You moved beneath the city lights

Quiet as a dream

And suddenly the world around me

Wasn’t quite the way it seemed

I didn’t know your story

I didn’t know your name

I didn’t know a single thing

But nothing felt the same

When your eyes met mine

I lost the words to say

I had a thousand things to tell you

Then they all just slipped away

You were there

Right in front of me

I lost my words

I lost my voice

You were beautiful

Like lightning in the dark

I saw you only once

But you left a lasting mark

You were there

Right in the crowd

And everything stood still

When you looked at me that way

I don’t know your name

I don’t know where you are

But since that night

I’ve carried you this far

I wanted to say something

Anything that might remain

Ask you where you were going

Ask you what you called your name

But the people kept on moving

And you moved along with them

You disappeared into the city

Like a light around the bend

I took a couple steps behind you

Then I stopped and let you go

Something told me in that moment

I would never really know

There were thousands all around us

But somehow there was only you

A single face among the strangers

A single thing I couldn’t lose

You were there

Right in front of me

I lost my words

I lost my voice

You were beautiful

Like lightning in the dark

I saw you only once

But you left a lasting mark

You were there

Right in the crowd

And everything stood still

When you looked at me that way

I don’t know your name

I don’t know where you are

But since that night

I’ve carried you this far

Maybe tomorrow

I’ll forget your face

Maybe time will wash away

The memory of that place

But tonight I still can see you

Walking underneath the lights

Like a little piece of heaven

Passing through my life

Sometimes I wonder where you are

If you’re walking somewhere still

Underneath another city

Underneath another sky

I wonder if you remember

That moment when we met

Or if for you it was nothing

Just another night you’ll forget

But I remember everything

The noise, the streets, the rain

The way the lights were shining

The way you looked at me

And that strange feeling

I had never known before

Of watching someone disappear

Before I knew what I was looking for

You were there

Right in front of me

I lost my words

I lost my voice

You were beautiful

Like lightning in the dark

I saw you only once

But you left a lasting mark

You were there

Right in the crowd

And everything stood still

When you looked at me that way

I don’t know your name

I don’t know where you are

But since that night

I’ve carried you this far

Maybe somewhere in this city

Our paths will cross again

Maybe I’ll recognize your eyes

Before I see your face

Maybe I’ll finally find the courage

To say the words I couldn’t say

Maybe you’ll smile and keep on walking

Maybe you’ll decide to stay

I don’t need a promise

I don’t need to know the end

Some moments aren’t m
