Lyrics

If You Were Here
©2015 Julie Parisi Kirby

The playground is empty, the children gone home
I've waited for years, and still you can't come
But if you were here, I'd swirl you around
We'd swing on the swings, we'd jump up and down

And if you were here, I'd sing you lullabyes
And rock you to sleep

You'd tell me your stories, and I'd tell you mine
I'd honor your wisdom, your beauty inside
And if you were here, we'd laugh at the rain
Plant flowers in the garden, cry when we feel pain

And if you were here, I'd sing you lullabyes
And rock you to sleep

Honor your dreams, my child
Don't let them go, stay wild
Walk in the woods, feel the sun on your face
Pay close attention, to that still quite place
Deep inside, Deep inside

And if you were here, I'd sing you lullabyes
And rock you to sleep
