It might be in the middle of the afternoon,
Maybe somewhere in the middle of night
I might not be thinking anything at all
And a perfect stranger's face 
Catches a certain light
And my heart jumps
'cause all at once 

There you are
Standing right in front of me
There you are
As lovely as you'll always be
And Here I go 
Back into those memories
Where you are 
Still in love with me.

I know I'll never hold you in my arms again
I know I'll never hear you speak my name.
I look around this lonely room and I can see
Your memory's the only thing that hasn't changed
I close my eyes 
And every time 

There you are
Standing right in front of me.
There you are
As lovely as you'll always be
And here I go
Back into those memories
Where you are
Still in love with me.

Where you are
Still in love with me

Willie Nelson

Willie Hugh Nelson (pronounced /wɪli nɛlsən /; born April 30, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana. more »
