Testo:
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
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:

'Cause I hear your strange music gentle and true
Father:
But I'm so proud of everything you do there

Now that I'm here

Now that I'm here
I love you
Daughter:
It's okay you can go now
