Lyrics

IF YOU HAD BEEN THERE

Written by Elise Lebec June 11th 2005


You were too young to be a mother
So I grew old before my time
And I will never get another
Chance to be a child

But I think I?m okay now
But I can?t help wondering
I have so many questions
That will never be answered

CHORUS:
WHO WOULD I BE TODAY
IF YOU HAD BEEN THERE
WOULD MY LIFE LOOK THE SAME
IF YOU HAD BEEN THERE
ALL THE MEMORIES THAT WE COULD HAVE SHARED
IF YOU HAD BEEN THERE

Did you know that I adored you?
Copied every move you made
So, when I needed you to hold me
How could you of turned away?

Even though I?m all grown up
There?s still something missing
The little girl inside me
Just keeps on asking

CHORUS:
WHO WOULD I BE TODAY
IF YOU HAD BEEN THERE
WOULD MY LIFE LOOK THE SAME
IF YOU HAD BEEN THERE
ALL THE MEMORIES THAT WE COULD HAVE SHARED
IF YOU HAD BEEN THERE


Bridge: IF YOU HAD ROCKED ME TO SLEEP AND KISSED ME IN THE MORNING
IF YOU HAD LISTENED TO MY DREAMS
YOU COULD MADE THEM COME TRUE
IF YOU HAD SHOWN ME THE LOVE THAT LEADS TO HAPPY ENDINGS
BEEN A HERO TO ME, BEEN A HERO TO ME?


CHORUS:
WHO WOULD I BE TODAY
IF YOU HAD BEEN THERE
WOULD MY LIFE LOOK THE SAME
IF YOU HAD BEEN THERE
ALL THE MEMORIES THAT WE COULD HAVE SHARED
IF YOU HAD BEEN THERE
