Kevin Alexander - If You're Not There Lyrics

"If You're Not There"

I walk along the road
My thumb out for a ride
Your memory in my shadow
Walking by my side

But when I turn to catch your eye
& feel the warm glow of your smile
I see that I'm alone
& you're not there

A trucker pulls his rig
To a stop beside the road
I climb on board & then
We pull out with our load

But your face it haunts my mind
I see you all the while
The sunshine on the road & in your hair
& in your smile

Rolling along the highway watching
Cars & trucks come my way
Cornfields passing by
Maybe a day will come
When I'll be passing by the other way
& I will stop for a while
& pass the time of day
With you, my love

I climb down from the truck
At a one-horse town café
A cup of coffee
Then I'll get out on my way

But then your laugh comes from nowhere
& all the kitchen sounds
Bring back memories with you
I look around, but you're not there

Walking along that highway watching
Cars & trucks come my way
Cornfields passing by
Maybe a day will come
When I'll be passing by the other way
& I will stop for a while
& pass the time of day
With you, my love

I walk across the road now
& face the other way
My thumb out for a ride
I might get back today

I was a fool to make you think
I didn't really care
My life is really nothing by itself
If you're not there

If you're not there...
