Here I Am
by Trevor Hegill, Toronto, ON, Canada, Age 17


Here I am
All alone again
And my mind wants
To call you friend
But my heart
Isn't as smart
And I think that maybe
I'm feeling a bit more
Than I really should
And that's not good
At all
I thought it would be easy
I guess I was wrong
I thought I could say goodbye
I guess I'm not that strong

But that was yesterday
And now I'm here and you've gone away, from me
And I miss your face
And I know it's you I can't replace, you see
I hope and pray
But I never hear your voice, on the phone
Remember how
We used to walk on the beach at night, alone
Oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, I can't forget
Oh, you were there

Here I am
All alone with you
And I'm trying
Hard to get through
But it seems
All of my dreams
Are slowly drifting
Further and further
Away from me
And away from you
Ooh
I thought that you could love me
I thought that you could care
I gave you all I had to give
But now you're not there

And now it's today
And now I'm here and you've gone away, from me
And I miss your face
And I know it's you I can't replace, you see
I hope and pray
But I never hear your voice, on the phone
Remember how
We used to walk on the beach at night, alone
Oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, I can't forget
Oh, you were there

Here I am
All alone again
And I can't believe
That it's the end
