I guess you've heard, I guess you've known, in time I'd have told you but I guess I'm too slow
Its totally romantic, but I know that its real
I hope you don't mind if I say what I feel
Its like living in somebody else's dream
this cannot be happening to me

But you were there
you were everything I'd never seen
You woke me up from this long and endless sleep
I was alone I opened my eyes and you were there..

Don't be alarmed no don't be concerned
I don't want to change things leave them just as they were
Honey nothing's really different
Its me you feel strange
I'm always lost for words when someone mentions your name
I know that I'll get over this for sure
I'm not the type that dreams there could be more

But you were there
You were everything I'd never seen
You woke me up from this long and endless sleep
I was alone
I opened my eyes and you were there

Can I take your smile home with me
Or the magic in your hair....

The rain has stopped
The storm has passed
Look at all the colours now the sun's here at last
I suppose that you believe it but I want you to know
Part of you stays with me even after you're gone
Like an actor playing someone else's scene
This cannot be happening to me..

But you were there
You were everything I'd never seen
You woke me up from this long and endless sleep
I was alone.... and I opened my eyes
And I, I'm not alone, no... not alone...
I opened my eyes... you were there...
