You’re Not Here Words and Music by Peter Vantine (ASCAP). Copyright © 2006. All Rights Reserved. Verse When I look at your picture… The love in your eyes, I cannot disguise The way I feel about you… The warmth of your glance, A tender romance, What I’ve longed for all my life; Was I wrong to try to make it right? Refrain Tried to hold you forever, Sought to love you with a love that would never let go Even though it is clear That your smile makes me smile, Even though . . . you’re not here Bridge How could this happen when I least expected? I was taken by the way you touched my heart Why did this happen? Might I feel different If I knew the truth from the start? Refrain Tried to hold you forever, Sought to love you with a love that would never let go Even though it is clear That your smile makes me smile, And when I smile I simply want to cry . . . ‘Cause you’re not here You’re not here No, you’re not here x
