From the recording In Her Dream
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
