If You Were Here - Poe

If you were here 
I know that you would 
Truly be amazed 
At what's become of what you made 
If you were here 
You would know how I treasured every day 
How every single word you spoke 
Echo's in me like a memory of hope 

When you were here 
You could not feel the value that I placed 
On every look that crossed your face 
When you were here 
I did not know just how I had embraced 
All that you hid behind your face 
Could not hide from me 
'Cause it hid in me too 

Father: 
Hello tiger, it's great fun, talking with you. like this--in fact I'm going to do it more often 

Now that I'm here I hear you and wonder if maybe you can hear yourself 
Ringing in me now that your somewhere else. 

Father: 
I miss you a lot 

'Cause I hear your strange music gentle and true 

Father: 
But I'm so proud of everything you do there 

Singing inside me with the best parts of you 

Father: 
Next time I see you you'll proudly sing it back to me 

Now that I'm here 

I hope somewhere you here them too 

Now that I'm here 

I love you... 

Daughter: 
It's okay you can go now
