Lyrics & section notes
[Intro – instrumental]
(piano, single notes, soft cello enters, 8 bars)
[Verse 1]
Your coffee cup still sits beside the window
The morning light falls where you used to stand
I keep the radio on just so I hear something
But nothing fills the quiet that you left
[Verse 2]
I find your notes tucked in the strangest places
Your handwriting, a map I can't put down
The seasons change but I'm still at this table
Waiting for a sound that doesn't come
[Chorus]
When you were here
The world made sense to me
When you were here
I knew where home could be
Now the hours pass like strangers in the hallway
And I'm learning how to breathe without you near
All I have is what I felt
When you were here
[Bridge]
Maybe time will soften all the edges
Maybe I'll stop reaching for your hand
But tonight I'll keep the porch light burning
Like you always said — just in case
[Chorus]
When you were here
The world made sense to me
When you were here
I knew where home could be
Now the hours pass like strangers in the hallway
And I'm learning how to breathe without you near
All I have is every memory
Of when you were here
[Outro]
(piano solo, cello fades slowly)
When you were here
