Barry Manilow - You'Re There lyrics

Our friends all use the past tense when they speak of you

And so to make them comfortable I use it too

They'd soon have me committed if only they knew

What I believe with all my heart is true

I know you're there

Although it's nothing I can prove

I know you're there

By just the way the shadows move

And though I say goodbye and finally let you go

I know you're there

Although I don't know how I know

I know you see

The crazy things I sometimes do

They make you laugh

So I still do them just for you

And while I'm entertaining all the friends I love

I know you see

And that you're laughing from above

You needn't panic

I'm not consulting any guru

Calling psychics

Or practicing with voodoo

I'm not maniac or depressive

I just miss you

So I'll go on

Enjoying every lovely day

Because I'm sure

You would've wanted it that way

And when there's sorrow it's not more than I can bear

Be cos you are, and always were, and always will be there
