Lyrics

HE WAS THERE (Lorna Flowers / Kent Forward)

I WAS A FIREFLY IN MY 3RD GRADE PLAY
SCARED TO DEATH I?D FORGET MY LINES
MOM FIXED MY WINGS AND SAID, ?YOU?LL BE OK
I WISH YOUR DADDY COULD SEE YOU TONIGHT?
BUT I SWEAR THAT NIGHT AS I SAID EACH LINE

CHORUS:
HE WAS THERE BY MY SIDE
THOUGH HE COULDN?T BE SEEN
LIKE A WHISPER OF PRAYER
OR THE RUSTLE OF WINGS
IN ALL THE PICTURES WE TOOK
IN THE LOVE THAT WAS IN THE AIR
SOMETHING INSIDE ME KNOWS
HE WAS THERE

THE DAY I WED, LITTLE CHURCH IN TOWN
WAITING BY THE DOOR FOR MY CUE
THEY SAID ?IT?S TIME?, MY FEET FROZE TO THE GROUND
IN THAT MOMENT I THOUGHT ?DAD I MISS YOU?
BUT I SWEAR AS I SMILED AND WALKED DOWN THE AISLE

CHORUS (Repeat)

BRIDGE:
ON A COLD RAINY NIGHT
WHEN THAT TRUCK RAN THE RED LIGHT
I NEVER GOT TO SAY GOODBYE
AND GOD I?VE OFTEN WONDERED WHY
HE WAS THERE


IN A HOSPITAL 2 DAYS AGO
OUR LITTLE GIRL CAME IN THE WORLD WITH A CRY
MOM WAS THERE WITH US AND HELD HER CLOSE
SAID, ?DAD WOULD BE SO PROUD AND SHE HAS HIS EYES?
AND I SWEAR THAT NIGHT, HOLDING OUR BABY TIGHT

CHORUS:
HE WAS THERE IN HER EYES
HE COULD ALMOST BE SEEN
LIKE A WHISPER OF PRAYER
OR THE RUSTLE OF WINGS? Repeat rest of chorus
