Then You Came Along

I spent a lot of time
Running down clouds
Pursuing happiness
Chasing it down
Then you came along
And nothing could be gray
Nothing could stop me
You're the sun in my day

I spent a lot of time
Licking old wounds
Wringing my hands
Singing the blues
Then you came along
And I seemed to heal
Just like a miracle
But you're so very real

I spent a lot of time
Missing the mark
Walking head down
Dwelling in the dark
Then you came along
And that target was yours
No more misplaced dreams
Now my imagination soars

I spent a lot of time
Fighting to write
Fighting the block
Lonely at night
Then you came along
And the pen hit the paper
And I never stopped
My words never felt safer

I spent a lot of time
Wishing I had a love
Feeling bad for myself
Push came to shove
Then you came along
And love came too
All is right in the world
Because of you

I spent a lot of time
Wishing on stars
Grabbing lucky pennies
Counting blue cars
Then you came along
You gave me new life
Breathed into me
Made everything right

I spent a lot of time
Running down clouds
Pursuing happiness
Chasing it down
Then you came along
And you are the one
The one that saved me
The one that I love...
