"You Weren't There" is a song by Norwegian singer-songwriter Lene Marlin. Written by Marlin and produced by Mike Hodges, the song was released as the first single from Marlin's sophomore studio album, Another Day (2003). The song premiered on French and Italian radio stations on 18 July 2003 and was serviced to European and Asian radio the following week, eventually receiving a single release on 5 September 2003.
"You Weren't There" became Marlin's last hit outside Norway and Italy; it reached number one in both countries but remained a minor hit across the rest of Europe, reaching the top 40 in Sweden and the top 100 in France, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. The song's music video, which shows a romantic couple having fun at a lake and Marlin singing, received negative reviews for Marlin's lacklustre appearance.
