You Are There - Stacey Kent

In the evening

When the kettle is on for tea

And all familiar feelings settles over me And it’s your face I see

And I believe that you are there

In a garden

When I start to touch a rose

I feel the petals soft and sweet against my nose

I smile and I suppose

That somehow maybe you are there

When I’m dreaming

And I find myself awake without a warning

Then I rub my eyes and fantasize

And all at once I realise

It’s morning

And my fantasy is fading like a distant star at dawn

My dearest dream is gone

I often think there’s just one thing to do —

Pretend that dream is true

And tell myself that you are there
