While You Were Here Lyrics by Eric Benet

While You Were Here Lyrics

    Through this veil of tears
    I can see what was suppose to be
    Now it's all so clear
    Love from you was so real, so true, genuine
    Stronger than time


    Chorus:
    Wipe your tears away
    Kiss you every morning
    Hear every word you had to say
    Are all the things i should have done
    While you were here
    And now the foolish boy has grown
    Into this man i'm sorry you've never known
    I'm not afraid to love
    'cause every beat of my heart
    Echoes all those memories from way back when
    And the man i should have been


    Chorus


    Faded dreams of you and me
    And of our little family
    Gone forever
    My god in heaven
    Before the gift of clarity
    We pay the price of misery
    Why please tell me why


    Her mommy's gone away
    But in her eyes i see you more each day
    How can i repay
    All your love unreturned
    From so long, long ago
    Now i know


    Alternate chorus
    I'll wipe her tears away
    Kiss her every morning
    Hear every word she has to say
    Do all the things that you
    Would do if you were here
    Brighten her rainy day
    Catch her when she's fallen
    Say i love you each and every day
    Do all the things that you
    Would do if you were here


    Chorus
