meant for me

something happened the other day

somehow my blues just slipped away

and for one sweet moment I could see

the sun was shining clear and bright

and before day turned into night

I knew it was meant for me

joy seeped into my poor heart

instead of tearing me apart

and I knew that this is supposed to be

I didn't know just what to do

until I turned and looked at you

and I knew it was meant for me

          the moment that I saw you

          I knew you had arrived

          now I know how it feels

          to be truly alive

love is not an empty promise

if it's true and deeply honest

devoid of pain and misery

I used to live in doubt and fear

until the moment you appeared

and I knew it was meant for me
