If You Were Here

(What is it, Annie?)
 (I miss you)
 ♪
 If you were here
 I know that you would truly be amazed
 At what's become of what you made
 If you were here
 You would know how I treasured every day
 How every single word you spoke
 Echoes in me like a memory of hope
 When you were here
 You could not feel the value that I placed
 On every look that crossed your face
 When you were here
 I did not know just how I had embraced
 All that you hid behind you face
 Could not hide from me 'cause it hid in me too

 (How are you, Tiger?)
 (This is great fun, to be able to talk with you like this)
 (In fact, I'm going to do it more often)
 Now that I'm here, I hear you
 And wonder if maybe you can hear yourself
 Ringing in me now that you're somewhere else
 (I miss you a lot)
 'Cause I hear your strange music, gentle and true
 (I'm sharing with you some of my reflections)
 Singing inside me with the best parts of you
 Now that I'm here
 (But I'm so proud of everything you do there, love you most)
 I hope somewhere you hear them too
 (Next time I see you, you'll proudly sing it back to me)
 Now that I'm here
 (Oh)
 I love you
