Music | Kris Allen's new song Whenever You Are Here

Our third new song of the tour! Kris premiered this one, which we'll call Whenever You Are Here in Portland. It was inspired by the movie Coco. A fan in Denver gave us a fantastic video from which we can figure out the lyrics (thanks, Christi)! Kathy (@kheilig) has taken a shot at them, but she advises some of the lines might need a little crowd-sourcing, so please weigh in with your thoughts on the lyrics. (Updated: Thanks to @AuntyCJ, @shoshpd and Christi, we updated some lyrics.)



(Whenever You Are Here)

What if I’m always late to the party?
What if I never sing like McCartney
Just a couple of my fears
But they seem to disappear
Ohhhh, Whenever you are here.

What if the mirror is a liar?
And what if my future doesn’t look brighter?
Just a couple of my fears
But they seem to disappear
Ohhhh Whenever you are here.

Baby don’t you go because you don’t know what it’s like
Whenever you’re away all of these thoughts run through my mind
And I’m not proud to say I’m not alright, I’m not alright, noooo

What if I take a bite from the fruit tree?
Why does the devil never feel sorry?
Just a couple of my fears
But they seem to disappear
Ohhhh Whenever you are here.
Ohh woahhh

Baby don’t you go because you don’t know what it’s like
Whenever you’re away all of these thoughts run through my mind
And I’m not proud to say I’m not alright, I’m not alright, I’m not alright, nooooooo

What if I’m always late to the party?
What if I never sing like (probably same word as first verse)?
Just a couple of my fears
But they seem to disappear ohhh
Whenever you are here.
Whenever you are here
Whenever you are here
Whenever you are here.

10 Years 1 Night Tour | Kris Allen plays Colorado cities October 24, 25 and 26, 2019

It's on to the state of Colorado for Kris, who plays Denver on October 24, Boulder on October 25, and Fort Collins on October 26.

The basic 22 song set list for the tour is in this post. In subsequent sets, Kris has added Written All Over My Face to that set, and on one occasion, Parachute and Paul Simon. He's also getting brave with doing songs he NEVER does in VIP, like Turn the Pages! Even more awesome, he's been performing a few new songs (More Machine, We Will Change and most recently, Whenever You Are Here).

Come back after the shows as I'll put the highlights from the Colorado stops in this post!

Updated October 26 PM with videos from Fort Collins' show! All of the Colorado cities earned #gavegoodlist.

10 Years, 1 Night Tour | Kris Allen brings the 2019 tour to the Pacific northwest on October 21 and 22

The tour continues, moving from California to the Pacific Northwest with stops in Portland and Seattle. I feel like it's been quite awhile since Kris played Portland and Seattle, so I checked and it was not actually as long as I was thinking... he played both cities during the Letting You In tour (just click their names in the post tag to see the posts).

The basic 22 song set list for the tour is in this post. In subsequent sets, Kris has added Written All Over My Face to that set. He's also done some songs just once: Parachute and Paul Simon.

Come back after the shows as I'll put the highlights from these stops in this post!

Updated October 25 with fantastic full-length meet and greet video, joining the fantastic full-length concert video from Portland featuring another new song from Kris! Portland thus earns #gavegoodlist
