Lyrics You Were There - Noël Coward

You Were There

Was in the real world, or was it in a dream?
Was it just a note in some eternal theme?
Was it accidental or accurately planned?
How could I hesitate
Knowing that my fate
Led me by the hand?
You were there
I saw you and my heart stopped beating
You were there
And in that first enchanted meeting
Life changed its tune
The stars and Moon
Came near to me
Dreams that I dreamed like magic seemed to be
Clear to me
Dear to me
You were there
Your eyes looked to mine and faltered
Everywhere
The color of the whole world altered
False became true
My universe tumbled in two
The earth became heaven for you
Were there
How could we explain it, the spark and then the fire?
How add up the total of our hearts' desire?
Maybe some magician a thousand years ago
Wove us a subtle spell
So that we could tell
So that we could know
You were there
I saw you and my heart stopped beating
You were there
And in that first enchanted meeting
Life changed its tune
The stars and Moon
Came near to me
Dreams that I dreamed like magic seemed to be
Clear to me
Dear to me
You were there
Your eyes looked to mine and faltered
Everywhere
The color of the whole world altered
False became true
My universe tumbled in two
The earth became heaven for you
Were there
