You're Still Here- Faith Hill
Thought I saw you today
You were standing in the sun
Then you turned away
And I knew it couldn't be
But my heart believed
Oh it seems like there's something
Everyday
How could you be so far
Away
When you're still here
When I need you, you're not hard to find
You're still here
I can see you in my babies' eyes
And the laugh and cry
You're still here
Had a dream last night
That you came to me on silver wings and I
I flew away with you
In the painted sky
And I woke up wondering
What was real
Is it what you see and touch
Or what you feel
Cause you're still here
Oh you're everywhere we've ever been
You're still here
I heard you in a stranger's laugh
And I hung around
To hear him laugh again
Just once again
Oh
Thought I saw you today
You were standing in the sun
And you turned away
Away
"Stephanie, are you listening to me?" I shook my head and looked at my Mom. I could swear that I saw you Paul. It wasn't possible but I would have bet my life on it.
"What are you looking at?" Mom asked. She hadn't seen it. I saw you standing there, the sun glowing on you and then you walked away from me, from your daughters. I knew it wasn't possible but my heart believed. My heart wanted to believe. I saw things like this nearly every single day. You aren't as far away as everyone kept telling me.
You are still here. Whenever I need you, I can find you, it isn't hard. You're still here. I can see you in Aurora and Murphy's eyes. When they laugh and when they cry, I can see you. You're still here and you'll always be here. I know that, you made a promise to me.
Last night, I had a dream about you Paul. It was so real, you came to me on silver wings and I flew away with you. We flew through the sky and I was with you again. I got to touch you, to smell you, to feel you, to kiss you. I woke up wondering what was real. Is it what I touch and see or is it what I feel? Is anything real anymore?
I ask myself this because you are still here. Everywhere I go, I have been before with you so you are there too. You're still here with me and the girls. Just after lunch, I heard you in a stranger's laugh. I bent down to quickly tie my shoe, just to see if I could hear him laugh just once more. I did and I heard you again. I smiled and kept walking, knowing if I stayed any longer, I would get upset.
I thought I saw you today Paul. You were standing in the sun and I walked up to you. You gripped my hand and pressed your lips against mine.
"I love you and the girls Stephanie." You murmured. I smiled and then you turned away.
"Don't leave me," I said. You turned to me and smiled and then you walked away. I smiled as I heard you say,
"I'm still here."
