When You Were Standing There by Elliot Saldivar Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wait here
Out in the snow
It's been so long since I've seen your face

It was just a few hours
A few hours ago
I packed all my bags to go home

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I'm really kinda nervous
Because this distance
It's felt so far

[Chorus]
'Cause when the lights go up
It reminds me of
All the time we used to share

I hope you remember
Last December
When magic filled the air
It was night but I'd never seen the streets glow so bright
When you were standing there

[Verse 2]
I hear it
The door opens
I look into your eyes

They're perfect
That hazel green
Shines just like a Christmas tree

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And now I'm twice as nervous
'Cause I just got
This feeling

[Chorus]
'Cause when the lights go up
It reminds me of
All the time we used to share

I hope you remember
Last December
When magic filled the air
It was night but I'd never seen the street glow so bright
When you were standing there

('Cause when the lights go up)

[Bridge]
What if we are caught between
The isolation of our dreams?
But suddenly you run to me
And I taste a peppermint kiss

[Outro]
A perfect Christmas
