You Were There

© 2009 Mark Cote

1. When my summer turned dark and cold
   the ones I held I no longer hold
   you were there
   when the love I found through a song
   seemed to care, but now is gone
   you were there

(chorus) When a friend gives an olive branch
                there's no return, there is no catch
                a selfless love, an open ear
                someone to catch a burning tear
                You were there

2. when silence is the loudest sound
   and faces blur all around
   you were there
   you never judge, you never do
   for what happened to me, happened to you
   you were there
(chorus)
