| When I left my home in the valley,
|
| I left everything that I knew.
|
| I lost my way through the wicked and the strange
|
| While I wasn’t looking for you.
|
| Only time I knew that I’d be here,
|
| Feeling the summer breeze in the Fall.
|
| I dropped to my knees like the densest of leaves
|
| While I wasn’t looking for you.
|
| My heart’s a carousel, yours is a silver bell.
|
| Both hold an enchanted tune
|
| That sings like a lullaby, chills like an autumn night,
|
| Leaves us refreshed and renewed.
|
| You were a light I never thought that I’d find
|
| 'Cause I wasn’t looking for you.
|
| I struggled to find resolution,
|
| The weight was unbearably cruel.
|
| I trudged along singing simpler songs
|
| While I wasn’t looking for you.
|
| If I could forgive the faults of my childhood,
|
| I’d never gasp at the salted beach air,
|
| But the sting in my eyes, it was never a surprise
|
| While I wasn’t looking for you.
|
| This here’s a chapter, it’s not ever after
|
| But someday it will turn into
|
| A handwritten history book, well placed upon a shelf
|
| Gracing the entire room.
|
| You were a light I never thought that I’d find
|
| 'Cause I wasn’t looking for you.
|
| I wasn’t looking for you.
|
| I wasn’t looking for you. |
