She Was There
[PERCY]
So many nights I have stood in the moonlight,
Watching it fade into dawn
Wanting her back with me, warm in the moonlight
Knowing that moment was gone out of mind, out of sight
'til the moon rose tonight

All at once I felt a chill
In a spill of moonlight she was there
Though we both held very still
There was something pulling in the air

When she whispered through the dark
I tried hard to hold my ground
I believed I had a choice
'til the music in her voice
Turned my whole world around

I would like to understand
But the stars and I begin to blur ...
If she never touched my hand
Then what filled me with the feel of her?
In between us stood a wall
In a flash it fell apart!
Is it possible she heard
Ev'ry last unspoken word
Racing out of my heart?
She never turned to me
But suddenly we had so much to share!
I never took her in my arms
But she was there!
Oh, she was there!

No, I never pulled her in!
Still her tenderness was ev'rywhere!
Oh, she slipped beneath my skin
Just as if she'd always been right there!
Has she been there all along?
Was I too far gone to know?
What a fool I must have been
For how could I pull her in
When I've never let her go!
