If You Were Here

Only if you were here Monica
Only if you were here Monica

[Verse 1]
The last time I saw you was August the 11th
It was also the last time I gave you a kiss
Then 15 days later you died and I was very sad
I am nothing without you
I went to your funeral but Ryan played with his friend
I was so sad and later that day I sang titanium
At parnells gaa and I was so proud of myself
Only if you could see me now of how good I am at singing and writing songs
You are the one who gave me the emotional feeling of happiness
Around now I am nothing without you
All the times we went shopping
All the times I helped you with facebook
I had a special place in your heart
All the times I helped you with everything
Those times I will never forget that I had to spend with you

[Chorus]
Only if you were here Monica
Only if you were here Monica
You see all the times I helped you go to sleep with a prayer
At least you got a vacation to Cyprus before you past away in 2 months
Only if you were here Monica
Only if you were here Monica

[Verse 2]
You were born on May 17 1943
You were 69 when you past away
You were the one who brought peace to our family
You may have been nervous around me
But you were too nice
I wish I could see you
Before you got down into the hole
I took a picture of you to remember you forever
I will never forget you
You and me watching the late late show together was another good time
We were best friends
I love you within all my heart
I wish you didn't miss us on the day of my confirmation and my brother's communion
But thanks to the doctors you past away

[Chorus]
Only if you were here Monica
Only if you were here Monica
You see all the times I helped you go to sleep with a prayer
At least you got a vacation to Cyprus before you past away in 2 months
Only if you were here Monica
Only if you were here Monica

[Bridge]
Now it's been 8 months since you past away and I last saw you
You and me watching the news together was a nice thing
I know your favourite song is Katy Perry - the one that got away
I'll keep practising it so I can fully sing it to you in heaven

[Chorus]
Only if you were here Monica
Only if you were here Monica
You see all the times I helped you go to sleep with a prayer
At least you got a vacation to Cyprus before you past away in 2 months
Only if you were here Monica
Only if you were here Monica

Only if you were here Monica
Only if you were here Monica
You see all the times I helped you go to sleep with a prayer
At least you got a vacation to Cyprus before you past away in 2 months
Only if you were here Monica
Only if you were here Monica
