You Were Here. Akways

Lyrics

(Verse 1) Before I ever saw your face, I heard your heartbeat in the quiet. One little rhythm, soft and strong, And suddenly the world felt different. Tiny kicks beneath my hands, Dreaming ‘bout the boy you’d be. Before this world could call your name… You were here. (Pre-Chorus) Then one little cry filled up the room, And love learned a brand-new tune. (Chorus) You were here, Before I ever knew this kind of love. One tiny hand changed everything, Fit perfectly inside my own. Every laugh, every little dream, Every “Watch me, Mama!” through the years. Before the whole wide world knew your name… You were here. (Verse 2) Lightning McQueen down the hallway, Buzz and Woody save the day. Dinosaur jammies, cereal mornings, Toy cars always in the way. Bandaged knees and cardboard rockets, Blanket forts that touched the sky. Every day a new adventure, Watching childhood fly. (Pre-Chorus) One first step became a hundred, Then a thousand memories. (Chorus) You were here, Before I ever knew this kind of love. One tiny hand changed everything, Fit perfectly inside my own. Every laugh, every little dream, Every “Watch me, Mama!” through the years. Before the whole wide world knew your name… You were here. (Bridge) One more bedtime, one more story, One more race around the room. Finger-painted refrigerator masterpieces, Dancing with a wooden spoon. If these little days keep flying, I hope they take their sweet time too… ’Cause every single little memory Still feels brand new. (Final Chorus) You were here, Before I ever knew this kind of love. Every smile, every scraped-up knee, Every hug when the day was done. You grew bigger every year, And somehow so did I. Before the world ever knew your name… You were here. (Outro – piano only) Before I ever saw your face… I heard your heartbeat. And mine has never skipped the same.
