[Verse 1] I’ve been missing you all morning. You’ve been sitting next to me. You ask me what I’m thinking. I say, “Nothing,” quietly. I try to memorize your voice And miss what you are saying. I’m scared of when you won’t be here And lose the time we share. [Chorus] While you’re still here, Let me be here too. I keep fearing our tomorrow And miss today with you. I can’t make the days stop passing. I can hold you close, right here. I don’t need a perfect moment While you’re still here. [Verse 2] Some days I’m tired and impatient. Then I hate the words I said, As if I have to make each moment One I’ll never once regret. But you can still be bored or restless. You can want the day to end. We don’t have to make a memory. You don’t have to smile and pretend. [Chorus] While you’re still here, Let me be here too. I keep fearing our tomorrow And miss today with you. I can’t make the days stop passing. I can hold you close, right here. I don’t need a perfect moment While you’re still here. [Bridge] If I knew which ordinary day Would be the last I’d spend with you, Would I hold the moment better, Or fear what losing you would do? I watch the time we have Instead of being in it. Afraid of losing you, I lose Another minute. [Chorus] While you’re still here, Let me be here too. I don’t have to know the future To spend this afternoon with you. Would you like another blanket? Should I put some music on? I can sit here right beside you While the day is not yet gone. While you’re still here, You can tell me what you need. You don’t have to make it precious. You can simply be with me. [Outro] You say my name. I turn to you. You’re still here. And I am too.
