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]
