Were We There At All
From the Ferris wheel in Memphis to the sunset in Bombay --
From the sunrise in the Smokies to the rain on Frisco Bay --
These memories inside my heart are at my beck and call.
But, when you leave I wonder -- were we there at all?
Did you smile at me in Kingston? Did we laugh in London town?
Did we spend a night in Paris exchanging lovers' sounds?
Does a wishful heart fill my mind with memories of it all?
Or was it just a dream I had? Were we there at all?
The love that lives inside my heart sometimes plays tricks on me.
I see places where we've been -- yet, it's such a mystery.
When you're near, it is so clear but without you, memories stall.
So I'm left to sit and wonder -- were we there at all?
